IMAGING GLOSSARY

Erosion (image processing)

Erosion is one of the two basic operators in the area of mathematical morphology, the other being dilation.

The basic effect of the operator on an image is to erode away the boundaries of regions of foreground pixels.

These areas of foreground pixels shrink in size, and holes within those areas become larger.
