// Demonstrates a number of morphological operations
// The structuring element is defined as an instance of a kernel_2d<float>:
// Default structuring element is SE = [1,1,1]
//                                     |1,1,1|
//                                     [1,1,1]
// SE(1,1)(center pixel) is the one which coincides with the currently
// considered pixel of the image to be convolved. The structuring element can be
// easily changed by the user.
// The example demonstrates the following morphological operations:
//     - black_hat
//     - top_hat
//     - morphological_gradient
//     - dilation
//     - erosion
//     - opening
//     - closing
//     - binary
// These operations are defined in include/boost/gil/image_processing/morphology.hpp
