def binary_erosion(image, selem, out=None):
    """Return fast binary morphological erosion of an image.

    This function returns the same result as greyscale erosion but performs
    faster for binary images.

    Morphological erosion sets a pixel at ``(i,j)`` to the minimum over all
    pixels in the neighborhood centered at ``(i,j)``. Erosion shrinks bright
    regions and enlarges dark regions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    image : ndarray
        Binary input image.
    selem : ndarray
        The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1's and 0's.
    out : ndarray of bool
        The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is
        passed, a new array will be allocated.

    Returns
    -------
    eroded : ndarray of bool or uint
        The result of the morphological erosion with values in ``[0, 1]``.

    Morphological dilation sets a pixel at ``(i,j)`` to the maximum over all

    This function returns the same result as greyscale opening but performs
    faster for binary images.

    The morphological opening on an image is defined as an erosion followed by
    a dilation. Opening can remove small bright spots (i.e. "salt") and connect
    small dark cracks. This tends to "open" up (dark) gaps between (bright)
    features.

    Parameters
    ----------
    image : ndarray
        Binary input image.
    selem : ndarray
        The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1's and 0's.
    out : ndarray of bool

    -------
    opening : ndarray of bool
