1. Mathematical morphology general topics
   
   • Colour images and mathematical morphology
   • Quantitative polar representations and modelling of colour images
   • Morphological segmentation of colour images
   • Colour image filtering using morphological operators: simplification, enhancement, denoising, etc.
   • Morphological-based colour-texture descriptors
   • Mathematical morphology in log-polar coordinates
   • Distance functions, minimal paths, jumps and other tools for segmentation and feature extraction
   • Morphological spectral analysis (granulometries) for structure characterisation, classification and retrieval
   • Temporal segmentation of video data in order to partition the sequence into shots using morphological tools


2. Application to bioimaging and visiomic
   
   • DNA microarray image analysis
   • Exploring new applications of mathematical morphology for reading biological arrays: analysis of protein microarrays, analysis of cell arrays, analysis of tissue arrays
   • Cell description and classification in haematological cytology (lymphocytes and erythrocytes)
   • Quantification of angiogenesis (endothelial cell organization in vitro)
   • Quantification of calcification in the mouse aorta


3. Other topics
   
   • Semantic content indexing, image retrieval
   • Automation in microscopy and laboratory routines
   • Telemedicine, telepathology, telehaematology
