Abstract
This paper focuses on a novel class of morphological filters
called levelings and their extension to vector spaces. Unlike many
filtering techniques reported in the literature, levelings suppress
details while preserving perfectly the contours of the remaining
objects. This feature makes them ideal tools for simplifying images in a
large set of applications. They are particularly useful as preprocessing
films for segmentation and coding. However when dealing with color
images, new colors may be introduced if each color component is treated
separately. In order to solve this drawback two extensions of scalar
levelings to vector spaces are presented
