Matrix elements values are 0, 1, or 2. 0 specifies background, 1 specifies foreground (objects) and 2 specifies that this position in the Matrix can be ignored (either foreground or background). E.g. when selecting Hit-Or-Miss transformation with SinglePoint structuring element only isolated single points retain in the binary image.
