### Fuzzy image Dilation and Erosion

One of the generic approaches to fuzzy Morphology is the Fuzzy Dilation and Fuzzy Erosion . Based on an trouble that I faced with during the Fuzzy image Analysis course , I decided to publish the Matlab code , based on the paper by "Bloch and Maitre" on "Fuzzy mathematical morphologies: A comparative study" . This is just the implementation of Definition 1 (page 1344 ). Needless to say that next definition are the same to Def 1 . Just play with the parameters :)

Here is the code :
