IMPORTANT MESSAGE

MICROMORPH software has been used for many years as a Mathematical Morphology tutorial and as an application builder.
However, MICROMORPH is a quite old 16-bits software (its first release was in 1994 for the Windows version) running only on Windows XP/Vista or earlier.
Thus, since february 2010, MICROMORPH is no longer distributed nor supported (see below...).
If you are interested by a free Mathematical Morphology software, please have a look to the MAMBA page by clicking on the logo below.

                                          

MAMBA (MAthematical Morphology liBrAry) is an Open Source (X11 license) library based on Python and available on GNU/Linux and Windows® operating systems. MAMBA has been designed from a 32-bits version of MICROMORPH which was never released by the CMM. Therefore, this software library may be considered as the successor of MICROMORPH. However, many enhancements are provided with MAMBA compared with MICROMORPH :

Mamba is written in C for low level functions and in Python for high level interface and image handling (Pascal and proprietary interpretor in MICROMORPH).
Image structures in MAMBA and MICROMORPH are similar: binary images defined with one bit/pixel, 8-bits greytone images (256 grey levels) or 32-bits greytone images (MICROMORPH allowed only to use 16-bits pictures). With binary images, 32 or 64 pixels can be processed in parallel.
MAMBA is available on Linux and Windows (MICROMORPH was running on Windows XP/Vista).
The SSE2 instruction set is used, when available, in MAMBA. This speeds up greatly many morphological operators.
Watershed operators based on hierarchical queues are included (they were not in MICROMORPH).
A realtime module is available (Linux and Windows). It allows to launch real-time applications on video streams produced by webcams or other devices.
Last but not least, MAMBA is free! Firstly, this means that MAMBA is an Open Source software package released under the X11 license. Secondly, MAMBA is free of charge. Sources, executables and documentation can be freely downloaded here.



  Despite the end of its distribution and support, MICROMORPH has not become a free software. Therefore, copying, distributing or using it in conditions not allowed by its license is strictly forbidden.
