# scipy.ndimage.morphology.binary_erosion

`scipy.ndimage.morphology.``binary_erosion`(input, structure=None, iterations=1, mask=None, output=None, border_value=0, origin=0, brute_force=False)

  Multi-dimensional binary erosion with the given structure.

  An output array can optionally be provided. The origin parameter controls the placement of the filter. If no structuring element is provided an element is generated with a squared connectivity equal to one. The border_value parameter gives the value of the array outside the border. The erosion operation is repeated iterations times. If iterations is less than 1, the erosion is repeated until the result does not change anymore. If a mask is given, only those elements with a true value at the corresponding mask element are modified at each iteration.
