    Dilation

    Dilation is a mathematical morphology operator that enlarges regions of foreground pixels in binary images and areas of higher pixel values in greyscale images. It works by applying a structuring element, which is a binary matrix defining the neighborhood, over an image. Dilation grows white regions and shrinks holes in binary images, and increases pixel values around edges in greyscale images. Dilation can be used for tasks like skeletonization to reduce objects to lines while preserving image structure.

    Dilation

    By:Amitava Das

    Dilation
    Dilation is one of the two basic operators in the area of mathematical morphology, the other being erosion. It is typically applied to binary images, but there are versions that work on greyscale images. The basic effect of the operator on a binary image is to gradually enlarge the boundaries of regions of foreground pixels (i.e. white pixels, typically). Thus areas of foreground pixels grow in size while holes within those regions become smaller

    Structuring Element
    A structuring element is a matrix consisting of only 0's and 1's that can have any arbitrary shape and size. The pixels with values of 1 define the neighbourhood Example: Neighbourhood 000100 001110 011111 111111 011111 001110 000100

    Skeletonization
    To reduce all objects in an image to lines, without changing the essential structure of the image
