Step 3: Enhance the Image Contrast

The imtophat and imbothat functions return the top-hat and bottom-hat transforms, respectively, of the original image.

• Itop = imtophat(afm, se);
  Ibot = imbothat(afm, se);
  figure, imshow(Itop, []), title('top-hat image');
  
  
  figure, imshow(Ibot, []), title('bottom-hat image');
  
  
  

Step 2: Create the Structuring Element

Step 4: Exaggerate the Gaps Between Objects
