Abstract. An important requirement for various applications of binary image processing is to preserve topology. This issue has been earlier stud- ied for two special types of image operators, namely, reductions and additions, and there have been some sufficient conditions proposed for them. In this paper, as an extension of those earlier results, we give novel sufficient criteria for general operators working on 2D pictures.
