Signature
closing_golay(Region : RegionClosing : GolayElement, Rotation : )
Description
closing_golay
is defined as a Minkowski addition
followed by a Minkowski subtraction. First the Minkowski
addition of the input region (Region
) with the
structuring element from the Golay alphabet defined by
GolayElement
and Rotation
is computed. Then
the Minkowski subtraction of the result and the structuring element
rotated by 180 degrees is performed.
The following structuring elements are available:
'l', 'm', 'd', 'c', 'e', 'i', 'f', 'f2', 'h', 'k'.
The rotation number Rotation
determines which rotation of
the element should be used, and whether the foreground (even) or
background version (odd) of the selected element should be used.
The Golay elements, together with all possible rotations, are
described with the operator golay_elements
.
closing_golay
serves to close holes smaller than
the structuring element, and to smooth regions' boundaries.
Attention
Not all values of Rotation
are valid for any Golay
element. For some of the values of Rotation
, the
resulting regions are identical to the input regions.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
Parameters
Region
(input_object) region(-array) →
object
Regions to be closed.
RegionClosing
(output_object) region(-array) →
object
Closed regions.
GolayElement
(input_control) string →
(string)
Structuring element from the Golay alphabet.
Default: 'h'
List of values: 'c' , 'd' , 'e' , 'f' , 'f2' , 'h' , 'i' , 'k' , 'l' , 'm'
Rotation
(input_control) integer →
(integer)
Rotation of the Golay element. Depending on the element, not all rotations are valid.
Default: 0
List of values: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
Complexity
Let F be the area of an input region. Then the runtime complexity for one region is:
Result
closing_golay
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if all parameters are
correct. The behavior in case of empty or no input region can be
set via:
-
empty region:
set_system('empty_region_result',<RegionResult>)
Otherwise, an exception is raised.
