Hi Akhila,

To do something useful with erode/dilate you need a structuring element
greater than one pixel!!! I would recommend you having a wee look at a text
on morphology to get you started. I cant reproduce your results,
but either way "st_el = 2" will work with a value of 1b
Also I hope you are not working on a JPEG saved true color version of your
"binary" image. If you need to save it use an non lossy format (tiff/png)
and convert it to a byte image - not true color!

Good luck

Martin
