Abstract
Efficient implementation of morphological operations requires the deco mposition of structuring elements into the dilation of smaller structu ring elements, Zhuang and Haralick presented a search algorithm to fin d optimal decompositions of structuring elements in binary morphology. In this paper, we use the concepts of Top of a set and Umbra of a sur face to extend this algorithm to find an optimal decomposition of any arbitrary gray-scale structuring element.
