Unit 7

Q1 Give the definition of erosion and dilation for binary images

Two basic operations of morphology are:
Dilation –adds pixels to the boundaries of objects in an image.
Erosion –Removes pixels on object boundaries.
Q2 Explain the gray scale dilation and erosion with an example.
Q3 Explain closing and opening morphological operations with an example
Q4 Explain Hit or miss transformation with an example.

Q5 Explain the four Morphological principals.

Done in Ques 2 and Ques 3
Q6 What is Morphological Transformation?
Morphological transformations are some simple operations based on the image
shape. It is normally performed on binary images. It needs two inputs, one is our
original image, second one is called structuring element or kernel which decides the
nature of operation. Two basic morphological operators are Erosion and Dilation. Then
its variant forms like Opening, Closing, Gradient etc also comes into play.
Q7 Explain Umbra, Top surface and gray scale dilation and erosion
Q8 What is structuring element? What is its role in mathematical
morphology?
Q9 What is a watershed? How is it used for morphological segmentation?
