Operator Reference
gray_dilation (Operator)
gray_dilation — Perform a gray value dilation on an image.
Signature
gray_dilation(Image, SE : ImageDilation : : )
Description
gray_dilation applies a gray value dilation to the input
image Image with the structuring element SE. The
image type of the structuring element SE must match the
image type of the input image Image. The gray value
dilation of an image i with a structuring element s at the pixel
position x is defined as:
Here, S is the domain of the structuring element s (see
read_gray_se).
The gray value dilation is particularly fast for flat structuring elements, i.e., structuring elements with a constant gray level within their domain.
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.
- Automatically parallelized on channel level.
- Automatically parallelized on internal data level.
Parameters
Image (input_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) → object (byte / uint2 / real)
Input image.
SE (input_object) singlechannelimage → object (byte / uint2 / real)
Structuring element.
ImageDilation (output_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) → object (byte / uint2 / real)
Gray-dilated image.
Result
gray_dilation returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if the structuring element is not
the empty region. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
