IMAGING GLOSSARY

Dilation (image processing)

Dilation is one of the two basic operators in the area of mathematical morphology, the other being erosion.

The basic effect of dilation on an image is to gradually enlarge the boundaries of regions of foreground pixels.

These areas of foreground pixels grow in size while holes within those regions become smaller.

See morphology.
