ImageDev

GrayscaleFillHoles3d

Fills holes in particles of a three-dimensional grayscale image.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm is analogous to the FillHoles3d which is dedicated to the binary case. It fills darks areas that are not connected to the image borders with the maximal gray level surrounding them. This algorithm uses the grayscale reconstruction by erosion algorithm. The marker image used by the reconstruction is generated with gray levels equal to: The thresholdFillingValue parameter sets the maximum gray level from which the bottom of a valley is considered as a hole.
