gray_dilation🔗
Short description🔗
gray_dilation — Perform a gray value dilation on an image.
Signature🔗
gray_dilation( image Image, image SE, out image 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🔗
Execution information
-
Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
-
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
-
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.
