.LP
From a general scientific perspective, the word  MORPHOLOGY
refers to the study of form and structure.
.LP
The morphological approach is generally based upon the analysis
of a two-valued image in terms of some predetermined geometric
shape known as a structuring element (or morphological
kernel).  Essentially, the manner in which the structuring
element fits into the image is studied.
.LP
The morphological operations can be employed for many purposes,
including edge detection, segmentation, enhancement and noise
removal of images.
