GUIDOS (Graphical User Interface for the Description of image Objects and their Shapes) 

MSPA (Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis) is a customized sequence of mathematical morphological operators targeted at the description of the geometry and connectivity of the image components.  Based on geometric concepts only, this methodology can be applied to any scale and to any type of digital images in any application field. Here, the foreground area of a binary image is divided into the seven generic MSPA classes Core, Islet, Perforation, Edge, Loop, Bridge, and Branch (this picture illustrates the conceptual idea to derive the four basic classes Core, Islet, Perforation, Edge). This true segmentation process results in mutually exclusive classes which, when merged together, exactly correspond to the inital foreground area.  Further details on MSPA can be found in EU Joint Reserach Center Forest Action webpage.

The software GUIDOS (Graphical User Interface for the Description of image Objects and their Shapes) can be used to perform a Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) on raster image data.  MSPA conducts a segmentation of the image foreground data into mutual exclusive feature classes. 

Download and follow the GUIDOS Installation Instructions. They contain important additional information to ensure a correct functioning of the application. GUIDOS is available for download he following two download in EU Joint Reserach Center Forest Action webpage.
