// This example illustrates the use of Mathematical Morphology filters for
// image enhancement. One of the difficulties of image enhancement is that it
// is defined based on human visual perception and it is related to a
// particular set of features that are of interest in the image. In this
// context, what is considered enhancement for one person, may be seen as
// image degradation by another person.
