It utilizes either a predefined kernel type (circle, square, cross, plus, octagon, diamond) or a user-defined custom kernel. The operation is applied iteratively, with the number of iterations specifiable. The kernel's size is determined by the `radius` parameter (in pixels or meters) or by the dimensions of the custom kernel. The method returns the processed image.\n"]]
