Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis, MSPA

Peter Vogt put forward the Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis （MSPA） by combing Pierre Soille's mathematical morphology mapping algorithm with Kurt Riitters' theory, which is a new method of landscape connectivity analysis. MSPA is an image processing method for measuring, recognizing and splitting grid image spatial patterns based on mathematical morphological principles. It is a self-defined morphological analysis method for geometric description and connection between patches, and can be applied to digital image analysis on any scale. It extracts seven landscape types from the pixel level, creating a new method of ecological network construction from the perspective of spatial form connectivity.
