Morphological Operators

Morphological operators are tools used in image processing to analyze and modify the shapes and structures within an image. They work by examining the relationships between pixels based on a defined shape, called a structuring element. These operators can highlight specific features, remove noise, or fill gaps, making objects more distinct. Common morphological operations include dilation (expanding objects), erosion (shrinking objects), opening (removing small noise), and closing (filling small gaps). Overall, they help enhance or alter the shape information in images for better analysis or visualization.
