Erosion vs dilation, explained by text

My binary image has tiny holes and specks. Which operation fixes what?

Lesson notes

Takeaway: Opening removes specks; closing fills small holes.

Quick check: In erosion, when does a foreground pixel stay foreground?
  1. Element touches any object
  2. Element fits fully inside
  3. Pixel value is above mean

Erosion keeps a pixel only if the whole structuring element fits in the object.
