Abstract
Mathematical morphology, which started to develop in the late Sixties, stands as a relatively separate part of image analysis. Its main protagonists were Matheron [Matheron 67] and Serra [Serra 82], whose monographs are highly mathematical books. Here, we shall present a simple explanation of this topic.
