Mission confiée
Project Summary The aim of this project is to bridge the gap between classical mathematical morphology and state of the art deep learning techniques for computer vision. Mathematical morphology is a widely used tool in image processing and computer vision because of its usefulness in manipulating geometric structures within an image or graph. However, its use in modern deep learning pipelines remains limited. While some work has been done in this direction, for instance with so-called Morpho Layers [5], we propose a different approach based on a variational formulation of morphological operators given in [4].
Using this alternative formulation we will be able to differentiate mathematical morphological operators and learn their parameters using automatic differentiation and first-order optimization methods. This will enable learning variational mathematical morphological operators in a data-driven manner, e.g., through backpropagation, and also allow the use of variational mathematical morphological operators as implicit layers [1,3] in a neural network. Neural networks for image segmentation and classification will be explored as primary applications in this direction.

Principales activités
Objectives Propose and analyze learnable mathematical morphological operators using implicit differentiation techniques that are compatible with autodifferentiation combined with variational mathematical morphology.
Context The techniques outlined in the project topic are frequently used in medical image analysis, which constitutes a large part of the activity of the host laboratory (Inria OPIS team).
Methods The project topic builds on the expertise of the supervisory team in high-dimensional optimization methods, deep learning, and mathematical morphology. It is an extension of some of the work recently carried out in this team [4,2].
Expected Results New neural network architectures based on learnable variational mathematical morphological operators, software implementations in Py Torch/JAX.
