This book treats of design and optimization of nonlinear filters (mainly morphological ones), in the scope of image processing. It is made from a collection of articles, many of them written by (or in collaboration with) the editors, which ensure some homogeneity in the approaches. The book is divided in eleven chapters: The first three treats of logical and gray scale operators on images and their generalization to translation invariant operators on discrete sublattices of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Chapters 4 to 6 ones are centered on problems with more topological flavour: granulometry, morphology and connectivity Chapters 7 and 8 are about median and stack filters. Their properties are qualified by the study of their invariant signals. The last two chapters are devoted to binary polynomial transforms and their application. The book is interesting and give deep insight in the domain, but the comprehension of the exposition need a solid mathematical background. Also, the evidence of the advantages of nonlinear versus linear filters in applications is not totally satisfactory, for at least two reasons: the common drawback of image processing books: the goals of the processing are ``improvements, generally not easy to quantize, the fact that the book is far from end user implementations and the algorithmical cost is not really discussed.
