Erosion and dilation: Shrinking or enlarging regions to isolate structures or close gaps.
Opening and closing: Combinations of erosion and dilation to remove noise or smooth object contours.
Region labeling: Separation of connected components for subsequent analysis.
Morphological filters: Removal of small noise pixels or filling of missing pixels.
Particle analysis: Detection, separation, and counting of individual particles in images.
Defect detection: Highlighting or removing defects such as scratches or holes.
Preprocessing for classification: Optimizing objects before passing them to matching or deep learning methods.
Industrial use: Quality control in electronics manufacturing, the food industry, or material testing.
