This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, ISMM 2009 held in Groningen, The Netherlands in August 2009.

The 27 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theory, connectivity and connected filters, adaptive morphology, graphs and topology, segmentation, shape, morphology of multi-valued images, and algorithms.
