The authors comments that Charif-Chefchaouni and Schonfeld (see ibid., vol.3, no.6, p.847, 1994) investigated the invertibility of a morphological representation of binary images and determined the necessary and sufficient conditions for its inverse. The authors show that one of the derived necessary conditions is not valid. A counterexample is given to illustrate our observations. Charif-Chefchaouni and Schonfeld reply that the new sufficient condition is proposed for the invertibility of the morphological image representation. A modification of its inverse is subsequently used to derive a new necessary condition for the invertibility of the morphological image representation. A composition of these conditions is finally used to provide a new necessary and sufficient condition under some restrictions for the invertibility of the morphological image representation. These necessary and sufficient conditions form a revision of one of the necessary conditions for the invertibility of the morphological image representation stated in the original paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
