Structuring element
9.2.2 Dilation
Dilation is used for expanding an element A by using structuring
element B
Dilation of A by B and is defined by the following equation:

Example (bridging gaps)
Duality between dilation and erosion
Dilation and erosion are duals of each other with respect to set
complementation and reflection. That,

Where B is the structuring element and indicates k
successive erosions of A:
Morphological gradient
Dilation and erosion are use to compute the morphological
gradient of an image, denoted g:

Textural segmentation
The objective is to find the boundary between
different image regions based on their textural
content.

2. Performing Simple opening
3. Performing Simple thresholding

Granulometry
Granulometry is a field that deals principally with
determining the size distribution of particles in an
image.
Because the particles are lighter than the background, we can
use a morphological approach to determine size distribution.
To construct at the end a histogram of it.
Based on the idea that opening operations of particular size
have the most effect on regions of the input image that
contain particles of similar size.
This type of processing is useful for describing regions
with a predominant particle-like character.
