	I'm fairly new to image analysis, and I'm dealing with 
the detection of ocean features in satellite (SAR) imagery...

I am looking for some code or literature (on the net or elsewhere)
that deals with dilating, eroding, and closing binary and gray scale
features.  Basically, the results of my feature detection algorithm
are clusters of points, lines  or in some cases blobs, which could
for instance be in the general shape of a current shear (a slightly
curved long thin line). I want to connect the points or lines and
eventually end up with a thin line that represents the shear. I may
want it one pixel wide.

I know Matlab, and ergovista and khoros deal with this type of
thing, and I'm wondering what the best package is, or what code
or books are out there that would help me get started on this type
of thing.

Thanks for *any* help you could give me...

Mike.
