Mathematical Definitions
Let be a grayscale image, mapping points from an Euclidean space or discrete grid E (such as R2 or Z2) into the real line. Let be a grayscale structuring element.
Then, the white top-hat transform of f is given by:
- ,
where denotes the opening operation.
The black top-hat transform of f is given by:
- ,
where is the closing operation.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or definitions:
“All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
—Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)
“What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
