How to select a structuring element for a given task is one of the most frequently asked questions in morphology. The present work tries to find a solution for a restricted class of problems, in the domain of shape classification. In this work an algorithm that extracts distinctive structure of each of a given set of objects, which can be used as the structuring elements for object classification system employing the hit-and-miss transformation, is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on a new measure of local shape property. The method is used to develop a system for Bengali numeral recognition.
