 Hit-or-miss transform

The hit-or-miss transform is a morphological operation used in image processing and computer vision, particularly for shape matching and pattern recognition. It is a fundamental operation that allows one to detect specific shapes or patterns within a binary image. The hit-or-miss transform involves two sets: a structuring element (or template) and a binary image. The structuring element can be thought of as a defined shape or pattern that you want to detect in the image.
