In mathematical morphology , opening is the Dilation morphology dilation of the Erosion morphology erosion of a Set mathematics set A by a structuring element B math A circ B A ominus B oplus B, , math where math ominus math and math oplus math denote erosion and dilation, respectively. Together with Closing morphology closing , the opening serves in computer vision and image processing as a basic workhorse of morphological noise removal. Opening removes small objects from the foreground usually taken as the dark pixels of an image, placing them in the background, while closing removes small holes in the foreground, changing small islands of background into foreground. These techniques can also be used to find specific shapes in an image. Opening can be used to find things into which a specific structuring element can fit edges, corners, ... .

An opening statement is generally the first occasion that the trier of fact jury or judge has to hear from a lawyer in a trial law trial , aside possibly from questioning during voir dire . The opening statement is generally constructed to serve as a road map for the fact finder. This is especially essential, in many jury trials, since jurors at least theoretically know nothing at all about the case before the trial, or if they do, they are strictly instructed by the judge to put preconceived notions aside . Though such statements may be dramatic and vivid, they must be limited to the evidence reasonably expected to be presented during the trial. Attorneys generally conclude opening statements with a reminder that at the conclusion of evidence, the attorney will return to ask the fact finder to find in his or her client s favor.
