What is erosion
Shrinks objects to separate regions
What is dilation
Expand objects to connect regions
What operation does dilation use
OR logical operation
What operation does Erosion use
AND logical operation
What is a morphological opening
Erosion followed by Dilation
AoB = (A-B)+B
What is the purpose of Opening
Remove noise and smoothen contours
What is morphological closing
Dilation followed by erosion
A•B=(A+B)-B
Purpose of closing
Join nearby connected components
What is skeletonisation
Reduce regions to skeletal remnants
What does skeletonisation preserve
Extent and connectivity of the original
