(a–j) Graphical plots between log (number of pixels of pore connectivity network formed by structuring elements ((i) rhombus, (ii) square, (iii) octagon or pore space) versus log (step sizes) from the first to the tenth iterations of opening process and (k) the fractal dimension for three structuring elements.
