This module provides functions to find local maxima and minima of an image. Here, local maxima (minima) are defined as connected sets of pixels with equal gray level which is strictly greater (smaller) than the gray level of all pixels in direct neighborhood of the connected set. In addition, the module provides the related functions h-maxima and h-minima.
