FillHoles2d

Fills the holes inside particles of a two-dimensional binary image.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm fills the holes inside particles, irrespective of their size.
Holes inside objects are filled using a numerical reconstruction applied on the complement of the input image, from markers made of pixels of the image frame.

Note: Since the reconstruction is applied on the input image complement, selecting a 4-neighbor connectivity fills holes connected to the background with a 8-neighbor connectivity.
