Abstract
Spatially variable structuring elements outperform translation-invariant ones by their ability to locally adapt to image content.
Without restrictions, they suffer from an overwhelming computational complexity. Fast methods for their implementation have recently been proposed for 1-D functions. This paper proposes an extension to 2-D with resizable rectangles.
