Erosion (morphology)Erosion (usually represented by ⊖) is one of two fundamental operations (the other being dilation) in from which all other morphological operations are based. It was originally defined for s, later being extended to grayscale images, and subsequently to complete lattices. The erosion operation usually uses a structuring element for probing and reducing the shapes contained in the input image. In binary morphology, an image is viewed as a subset of a Euclidean space or the integer grid , for some dimension d.
Land managementLand management is the process of managing the use and development of land resources (in both urban and rural settings, but it is mostly managed in Urban places).
