ClosingLineMinimum

Performs a minimal linear closing.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm computes the intersection of the closings in several directions (binary case) or the minimum of these closings (grayscale case).
It is very useful for filtering circular shapes, because it fills holes in all directions (the circular ones first).
Like a classical closing transform, combining this algorithm with a subtraction to the original image and an appropriate threshold performs a Top Hat well adapted to circular dark object detection.
In the 2D case, directions are regularly sampled around the unit circle (starting with an horizontal right oriented direction). In the 3D case, a unit sphere is regularly sampled (starting with a vertical upper oriented direction).
