Digital Image Processing: An Algorithmic Approach With Matlab

Binary image processing involves operations that modify the black and white pixels of an image to increase foreground or background pixels. Morphological operations are useful for isolating regions of interest and modifying pixel neighborhoods by dilation, closing, thickening, erosion, opening, and thinning. If erosion is iteratively applied while avoiding holes, it converges to the skeleton of the image, which is a simplified connected version.

Digital Image Processing: An Algorithmic Approach with MATLAB

Binary Image Processing

Binary Image Processing


Binary Image Processing essentially means operations that can modify the black and white contents of an image. In some case the foreground pixels (with white color) are to be increased while in other case the background pixels (with black color) are. The processing involving such changes is called Morphological operation

Morphological operations are extremely useful in isolating certain regions of interest from the image for further processing, or to remove or increase certain type of pixels in certain neighborhoods, or to get the skeleton of the objects present in the image

Morphological operators Dilation, Closing, and Thickening will increase the foreground contents but in slightly varying degrees. Similarly, the morphological operators Erosion, Opening, and Thinning will increase the background contents but in varying degrees. If Erosion is applied iteratively keeping in mind avoiding and opening or hole formation in the foreground objects, then it will converge to a final and most simplified connected version of the source image and is called the skeleton of the image
