Operator Reference
gray_tophat (Operator)
gray_tophat — Perform a gray value top hat transformation on an image.
Signature
gray_tophat(Image, SE : ImageTopHat : : )
Description
gray_tophat applies a gray value top hat transformation 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 top hat transformation of an image i with a structuring
element s is defined as
i.e., the difference of the image and its opening with s (see
gray_opening). For the generation of structuring elements,
see read_gray_se.
The top hat transformation 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.
ImageTopHat (output_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) → object (byte / uint2 / real)
Top hat image.
Result
gray_tophat returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if the structuring element is not
the empty region. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
