## If two structuring elements @var{se1} and @var{se1} are given, the hit-miss
## operation is defined as
## @example
## bw2 = erode(bw1, se1) & erode(!bw1, se2);
## @end example
## If instead an 'interval' array is given, two structuring elements are computed
## as
## @example
## se1 = (interval ==  1)
## se2 = (interval == -1)
## @end example
## and then the operation is defined as previously.
