Morphological Operations in DetailMorphological operation is a technique to process an image based on its shape. It works on comparing the neighboring pixels to structure an image. The process is preferable for binary images ({0,1} or {0,255}).How does the process work?Before getting familiar with morphological operations, we need to have knowledge about some basic terminologies — Structuring Element, Miss, Hit and Fit.Figure 1: Morphological Operation’s Elements (Image By Author)Structuring ElementIt’s a small piece of…

Today, we will advance a little bit and work on the morphological operations which are commonly used in image processing. Morphological operations are used to extract the region, edges, shapes, etc.What are Morphological Operations?Morphological operations are performed on binary images. Binary images may contain…
