Geodesic dilation. The geodesic dilation of size 1 of themarker

Dilation. The dilation of a set X by a structuring element B
is defined as the locus of points x such that B hits X when its
origin coincides with x :

= δ (1) ( X )

Geodesic erosion. The geodesic erosion is the dual transforma-
tion of geodesic dilationwith respect to set complementation:
Morphological transformations involve combinations of one
input image with specific structuring elements (or SEs). The
approach for geodesic transformations is to consider two input
images, so that a morphological transformation is applied to
the first image, which must remain greater or lower than the
second one.
ε Y ( X ) = ε (1) ( X ) Y
