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.
