ClosingLine2d

Performs a two-dimensional closing using a structuring element matching with a line.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm successively runs a DilationLine2d and an ErosionLine2d with the same kernel in the opposite direction. A linear opening controls the direction of the opening, therefore making it possible to fill holes and bays thinner than the structuring element in its direction.
The closing is performed by using a linear structuring element. The direction of 0 degrees is horizontal and to the left, and the angles are calculated counter-clockwise.

With a classic implementation, morphological closing systematically considers areas out of the image as a replication of the image borders at each step of the algorithm. Therefore, when applying a closing, some objects close to the image borders may be connected to the border at the dilation step and not be retro propagated after the dilation, while one would expect to keep them disconnected from the border. The borderPolicy parameter manages this case. The default mode, LIMITED, corresponds to the classic behavior. The EXTENDED mode properly manages image borders by extending them by a size equal to the structuring element's. This mode can be slower and more memory consuming, especially when the structuring element size is high.
This option is illustrated in the Closing2d documentation (Figure 2).
