Morphology, in the context of image processing, refers to a set of operations that process images based on their shape or structure. These operations are typically applied to binary (black and white) images, where pixels are either on (white) or off (black). Morphological operations analyze and manipulate the spatial arrangement of pixels in an image to extract features or modify its structure.
In this tutorial, we will delve into two fundamental morphological operations: opening and closing. These operations are essential tools in the image processing, and we will explain how they work, their applications, and how to use them in Python with OpenCV. The tutorial covers:
- What Are Morphological Operations?
- Implementation in OpenCV
- Conclusion
Let's get started.
