[mmCero] [Up] [mmEro] Dilations And Erosions

mmDil
Dilate an image by a structuring element.

Synopsis

Image mmDil ( const Image& f , const Strel& b = NullStrel );

Input

f Image [ Gray-scale (uint8 or uint16) or binary image ]

b Structuring Element

Default: NullStrel (3x3 elementary cross)

Output

y Image

Description

mmDil performs the dilation of image f by the structuring element b. Dilation is a neighbourhood operator that compares locally b with f, according to an intersection rule. Since Dilation is a fundamental operator to the construction of all other morphological operators, it is also called an elementary operator of Mathematical Morphology. When f is a gray-scale image, b may be a flat or non-flat structuring element.

Equation

Flat structuring element:
Non-flat structuring element:
Where
