mmsedil
Dilate one structuring element by another

Synopsis

function Bo = mmsedil ( B1 , B2 )

Input

B1 Structuring Element
B2 Structuring Element

Output

Bo Structuring Element

Description

mmsedil dilates an structuring element by another. The main difference between this dilation and mmdil is that the dilation between structuring elements are not bounded, returning another structuring element usually larger than anyone of them. This gives the composition of the two structuring elements by Minkowski addition.

Examples

b1 = mmseline(5);

mmseshow(b1)

ans =
     0     0     0     0     1     1     1     1     1

b2 = mmsedisk(2);

mmseshow(b2)

ans =
     0     1     1     1     0
     1     1     1     1     1

     1     1     1     1     1
     0     1     1     1     0

b3 = mmsedil(b1,b2);

mmseshow(b3)

ans =
     0     0     0     0     0     1     1     1     1     1     1     1     0
