Abstract :
An approach to unsupervised pattern classification that is based on the use of mathematical morphology operations is developed. The way a set of multidimensional observations can be represented as a mathematical discrete binary set is shown. Clusters are then detected as well separated subsets by means of binary morphological transformations
