1. An adaptive dilation method comprises the steps of:
- a) Input an image;
b) Perform an adaptive background distance transform using the input image to create an adaptive background distance transform image;
c) Perform a threshold on the adaptive background distance transform image to generate adaptive dilation image output.

Abstract
An adaptive dilation method receives an image and performs an adaptive background distance transform to create an adaptive background distance transform image. A threshold is applied to the adaptive background distance transform image to generate adaptive dilation image output. An adaptive erosion method receives an image and performs an adaptive foreground distance transform to create an adaptive foreground distance transform image. A threshold is applied to the adaptive foreground distance transform image to generate adaptive erosion image output.
