mmclose - Morphological closing.

Synopsis
y = mmclose( f, b )
Input
f: Gray-scale (uint8 or uint16) or binary image (logical uint8).
b: Structuring element. Default: Elementary cross (mmsecross).
Output
y: Gray-scale (uint8 or uint16) or binary image (logical uint8).
Description
mmclose creates the image y by the morphological closing of the image f by the structuring element b. In the binary case, the closing by a structuring element B may be interpreted as the intersection of all the binary images that contain the image f and have a hole equal to a translation of B. In the gray-scale case, there is a similar interpretation taking the functions umbra.
Examples 
f=mmbinary(mmreadgray('blob.tif'));
Warning: Converting image from binary uint8 to uint8.
bimg=mmbinary(mmreadgray('blob1.tif'));
Warning: Converting image from binary uint8 to uint8.
b=mmimg2se(bimg);
mmshow(f);
mmshow(mmclose(f,b));
mmshow(mmclose(f,b),mmgradm(f));
