Morphological Processing Including Opening Operations

Resource Overview

Morphological Processing with MATLAB source code: Opening operations, closing operations, edge detection, reconstruction, and more

Detailed Documentation

Morphological processing serves as a fundamental technique in image analysis, encompassing various operations such as opening, closing, edge detection, and reconstruction. MATLAB provides efficient implementations through its Image Processing Toolbox functions like imopen(), imclose(), and edge(). These operations typically utilize structural elements (strels) to probe and modify image shapes. For instance, opening operations combine erosion followed by dilation to remove small objects while preserving larger structures, implemented using imerode() and imdilate() functions sequentially. The reconstruction operation employs morphological reconstruction algorithms to restore specific image features based on marker images.
