Tips  
  • The structuring element is a 2D array used as a binary mask to define the neighborhood of a pixel. You can modify the structuring element by clicking its cells. If a cell is black, it has a value of 1. If a cell is white (empty), it has a value of 0.
  • Experiment with different coefficients and the Kernel Size to get the results you want.
