title: How to chose structuring element?
body: <p>I am new to image processing and related areas. I am trying to figure out how to chose structuring element (strel) for Morphological operations? For eg: I want to dilate a binary image in <code>Matlab</code> but I am not sure which <code>strel</code> to chose. That's proving to be really difficult since which is used when isn't clear to me. <strong>I am basically procssing large number of video frames and the algorithm demands dilation of each after binarization</strong>. </p>
