Brief Biography: Dr. B. S. Daya Sagar (M’03-SM’03) received the M.Sc and Ph.D degrees from the Faculty of Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India, in 1991 and 1994 respectively. Sagar currently is an Associate Professor at Systems Science and Informatics Unit (SSIU) of Indian Statistical Institute—Bangalore Centre, India. Earlier, he worked in College of Engineering, Andhra University, and Centre for Remote Imaging Sensing and Processing (CRISP), The National University of Singapore in various positions during 1992-2001. He served as Associate Professor and Researcher in the Faculty of Engineering & Technology, Multimedia University, Malaysia during 2001-07. His research interests include GIS, Applications of Mathematical Morphology, digital image processing, fractals and multifractals in extraction, analyses, and modeling of geophysical patterns. He has published over 60 papers in journals, and has authored and/or guest edited 9 book and/or theme issues for journals. He authored a book entitled "Mathematical Morphology in Geomorphology and GISci," CRC Press: Boca Raton, 2013, p. 546. He recently co-edited a special issue on "Filtering and Segmentation with Mathematical Morphology" for IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing (v. 6, no. 7, p. 737-886, 2012). He is an elected Fellow of Royal Geographical Society (1999), Indian Geophysical Union (2011), and was a member of New York Academy of Science during 1995-96, and He received first Dr. Balakrishna Memorial Award from Andhra Pradesh Akademi of Sciences in 1995, Krishnan Gold Medal from Indian Geophysical Union in 2002, and ‘Georges Matheron Award-2011 (with Lecturership)” of International Association for Mathematical Geosciences. He is on the Editorial Boards of Discrete Dynamics of Nature and Society, and Computers & Geosciences. More details about him can be seen at: http://www.isibang.ac.in/~bsdsagar
Title: Greyscale Morphological Interpolations and Morphing
Abstract: We demonstrate the application of greyscale morphological interpolations, computed hierarchically between the spatial fields, to metamorphose a source-spatial field into a target-spatial fields. Greyscale morphological interpolations are computed with respect to both flat and non-flat structuring elements, and found that the morphing, shown for transform source-DEM into target-DEM, created with respect to non-flat structuring element is more appropriate as the transition of source-DEM into the target-DEM across discrete time steps is smoother than that of the morphing shown with respect to flat structuring element. This morphing shown via nonlinear greyscale morphological interpolations is of immense value in geographical information science, and in particular spatiotemporal geo-visualization. Two DEMs of similar sizes but belonging to two different regions are considered as source and target spatial fields further to (i) demonstrate morphology-based algorithm to generate all possible sequential median functions, and (ii) create morphing depicting source-DEM transforming into target-DEM. Application of this entire framework yields results of interest particularly in visualization of spatiotemporal behaviours of various phenomena drawn from wide ranging disciplines such as geosciences, environmental sciences, geography, demography, agricultural sciences, social sciences, etc.
