/**
 * This function is the white top hat (also called top hat). In mathematical morphology and digital image processing,
 * top-hat transform is an operation that extracts small elements and details from given images.
 * The white top-hat transform is defined as the difference between the input image and its opening by some structuring element.
 * Top-hat transforms are used for various image processing tasks, such as feature extraction, background equalization, image enhancement, and others. (Wikipedia)

 * @instance
 * @param {object} [options]
 * @param {Array<Array<number>>} [options.kernel] - The kernel can only have ones and zeros. Default: [[1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]]
 * @param {number} [options.iterations=1] - Number of iterations of the morphological transform
 * @return {Image}
