BinaryOpening  Method

Description         This function will morphologically open the binary image. The function works for only 1 bit per pixel images. Morphological opening of a binary image is defined as the erosion of that image followed by the dilation of the eroded image. The opening filter operation will reduce small outward bumps and small narrow openings within the object.
