Binary erosion and dilation are the base filters of binary mathematical morphology. In ITK 2.4.1 verb$BinaryDilateImageFilter$ and verb$BinaryErodeImageFilter$ implement an efficient algorithm described in cite{Nikopoulos2000}. However, those filter lack [...]

Morphological reconstruction may be implemented in a number of different ways. ITK has an iterative method and a non iterative method. This article compares the performance of another non iterative method and finds a significant improvement.

It is sometimes useful to be able to apply binary morphological operations, such as erosions and dilations, to labelled images in a fashion that preserves the labels. This article introduces a specialised class implementing parallel methods described in beare [...]
