Erosion (usually represented by ⊖) is one of two fundamental operations (the other being dilation) in morphological image processing from which all other morphological operations are based. It was originally defined for binary images , later being extended to grayscale images, and subsequently to complete lattices .
In morphological opening (), the erosion operation removes objects that are smaller than structuring element B and the dilation operation (approximately) restores the size and shape of the remaining objects. However, restoration accuracy in the dilation operation depends highly on the type of structuring element and the shape of the restoring ...
The closing of the dark-blue shape (union of two squares) by a disk, resulting in the union of the dark-blue shape and the light-blue areas. In mathematical morphology, the closing of a set (binary image) A by a structuring element B is the erosion of the dilation of that set,
A binary image is viewed in mathematical morphology as a subset of a Euclidean space R d or the integer grid Z d, for some dimension d. Let E be a Euclidean space or an integer grid, A a binary image in E, and B a structuring element regarded as a subset of R d. The dilation of A by B is defined by
A shape (in blue) and its morphological dilation (in green) and erosion (in yellow) by a diamond-shaped structuring element. Mathematical morphology (MM) is a theory and technique for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures, based on set theory, lattice theory, topology, and random functions.
In mathematical morphology, a structuring element is a shape, used to probe or interact with a given image, with the purpose of drawing conclusions on how this shape fits or misses the shapes in the image. It is typically used in morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, opening, and closing, as well as the hit-or-miss transform.
A drama was born two decades ago when Streisand sued over an image of her Malibu mansion appearing on a website documenting erosion on the California coastline.
In binary morphology, an image is viewed as a subset of a Euclidean space or the integer grid , for some dimension d.Let us denote this space or grid by E.. A structuring element is a simple, pre-defined shape, represented as a binary image, used to probe another binary image, in morphological operations such as erosion, dilation, opening, and closing.
