Mathematical Morphology
Mathematical Morphology is a branch of mathematics focused on the analysis and processing of geometric structures. It uses set theory and lattice theory to study shapes and forms in images, making it particularly useful in fields like image processing and computer vision.
The core operations in mathematical morphology include dilation, erosion, opening, and closing. These operations help in tasks such as noise reduction, shape extraction, and object recognition by manipulating the spatial structure of images based on their geometric properties.
