Abstract
Statistical analysis of morphological openings is carried out to study noise-suppression and edge-preserving properties of binary and gray-scale structuring elements. Based on the fact that basis functions are a general representation of any morphological mapping that is translation-invariant and increasing, it is shown that a statistical analysis using this representation is feasible and more general than the threshold decomposition approach
