Operator Reference
gray_opening (Operator)
gray_opening
— Perform a gray value opening on an image.
Signature
gray_opening(Image, SE : ImageOpening : : )
Description
gray_opening
applies a gray value opening 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 opening of
an image i with a structuring element s is defined as
i.e., an erosion of the image with s followed by a dilation with
the transposed structuring element (see gray_erosion
and
gray_dilation
). For the generation of structuring elements,
see read_gray_se
.
The gray value opening 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.
ImageOpening
(output_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) →
object (byte / uint2 / real)
Gray-opened image.
Result
gray_opening
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if the structuring element is not
the empty region. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
