Mathematical Morphology

Mathematical morphology is a technique used in image processing that analyzes and manipulates shapes and structures within an image. It uses simple operations, like expanding or shrinking parts of objects, to enhance features or remove noise. Think of it as a way to refine or highlight specific patterns by examining how pixels relate to their neighbors. These methods help in tasks like cleaning up images, detecting edges, or extracting specific shapes, making complex visual information easier to analyze and understand.
