Description

I started [a forum thread](http://forum.imagej.net/t/smart-morphology-operations/2581) asking about "smart morphology" operations. There are certainly quite a few; see:

* The [Morphological Operators for ImageJ](http://www.mecourse.com/landinig/software/software.html) from @landinig.
* [MorphoLibJ](http://imagej.net/MorphoLibJ) from @dlegland and @iarganda.
* [EDM Binary Operations](http://imagej.net/BioVoxxel_Toolbox#EDM_Binary_Operations) from @biovoxxel.
* [Topology Correction using Fast Marching Methods and
its Application to Brain Segmentation](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.85.189&rep=rep1&type=pdf)
* Stuff from other frameworks like scikit-image and OpenCV.

People with time and energy and a love of algorithms could certainly make an impact here by porting these to Ops.

Research direction

Start with the linked forum thread, then review the Morphological Operators, MorphoLibJ, EDM Binary Operations, and topology-correction references. The issue names no files, entry points, or tests, and does not select which operations to port. Done would require agreeing on a defined operation set, implementing it in Ops, and adding verification.
