mmdil
Dilate an image by a structuring element.

Synopsis

y = mmdil ( f , 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.

b=mmbinary([1, 1, 0])

       [ True,  True, False, False, False, False, False],
