Abstract
Morphological openings and closings can be viewed as consistent MAP estimators of smooth random binary image signals immersed in i.i.d. clutter, or suffering from i.i.d. random dropouts. We revisit this viewpoint under much more general assumptions and show that, quite surprisingly, the above interpretation is still valid
