OpeningByReconstruction2d

Performs a two-dimensional opening by reconstruction with a structuring element matching with a square.

Access to parameter description

An opening by reconstruction consists in applying an erosion followed by a morphological reconstruction. In the binary case, opening by reconstruction can be used for removing small objects without modifying edges of the large ones. In the grayscale case, opening by reconstruction can be used for performing a Top Hat by reconstruction for detecting bright small structures without getting artifacts from the boundary concavities of the large ones.

Class Syntax

Parameters

Class Name OpeningByReconstruction2d

Parameter Name Description Type Supported Values Default Value
input
inputImage
The input image. Image Binary, Label or Grayscale nullptr
input
kernelRadius
The number of iterations (the half size of the structuring element, in pixels). A square structuring element always has an odd side length (3x3, 5x5, etc.) which is defined by twice the kernel radius + 1. UInt32 >=1 3
input
neighborhood
The 2D neighborhood configuration for performing dilations or erosions.
CONNECTIVITY_4 The structuring element is a cross.
CONNECTIVITY_8 The structuring element is a square.
Enumeration CONNECTIVITY_8
output
outputImage
The output image. Its dimensions and type are forced to the same values as the input image. Image nullptr
