Abstract
We establish the link between Mathematical Morphology and the map of Asplund’s distances between a probe and a grey scale function, using the Logarithmic Image Processing scalar multiplication. We demonstrate that the map is the logarithm of the ratio between a dilation and an erosion of the function by a structuring function: the probe. The dilations and erosions are mappings from the lattice of the images into the lattice of the positive functions. Using a flat structuring element, the expression of the map of Asplund’s distances can be simplified with a dilation and an erosion of the image; these mappings stays in the lattice of the images. We illustrate our approach by an example of pattern matching with a non-flat structuring function.

Le us demonstrate that the Aplünd’s metric is a metric in the space of equivalence classes . In order to be a metric on , must satisfy the four following properties:
-
1.
(positivity): , \(\forall x \in D\), (Def. 1), because

.
In the same way, we have \(\frac{1}{\mu _1} = \lambda _2\).
Therefore, .
