ClosingByReconstruction2d

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

Access to parameter description

A closing by reconstruction consists in applying a dilation followed by a morphological reconstruction. In the binary case, closing by reconstruction can be used for filling small holes 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 dark small structures without getting artifacts from the boundary concavities of large structures.

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
