closingclosingClosingClosing (Operator)

Name

closingclosingClosingClosing — Close a region.

Signature

closing(Region, StructElement : RegionClosing : : )

Herror closing(const Hobject Region, const Hobject StructElement, Hobject* RegionClosing)

Herror T_closing(const Hobject Region, const Hobject StructElement, Hobject* RegionClosing)

void Closing(const HObject& Region, const HObject& StructElement, HObject* RegionClosing)

HRegion HRegion::Closing(const HRegion& StructElement) const

static void HOperatorSet.Closing(HObject region, HObject structElement, out HObject regionClosing)

HRegion HRegion.Closing(HRegion structElement)

Description

A closingclosingClosingClosingClosing operation is defined as a dilation followed by a Minkowsi subtraction. By applying closingclosingClosingClosingClosing to a region, larger structures remain mostly intact, while small gaps between adjacent regions and holes smaller than StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElement are closed, and the regions' boundaries are smoothed. All closingclosingClosingClosingClosing variants share the property that separate regions are not merged, but remain separate objects. The position of StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElement is meaningless, since a closing operation is invariant with respect to the choice of the reference point.

Structuring elements (StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElement) can be generated with operators such as gen_circlegen_circleGenCircleGenCircleGenCircle, gen_rectangle1gen_rectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1, gen_rectangle2gen_rectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2, gen_ellipsegen_ellipseGenEllipseGenEllipseGenEllipse, draw_regiondraw_regionDrawRegionDrawRegionDrawRegion, gen_region_polygongen_region_polygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygon, gen_region_pointsgen_region_pointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPoints, etc.

Attention

closingclosingClosingClosingClosing is applied to each input region separately. If gaps between different regions are to be closed, union1union1Union1Union1Union1 or union2union2Union2Union2Union2 has to be called first.

Example (C++ (HALCON 5.0-10.0))

#include "HIOStream.h"
#if !defined(USE_IOSTREAM_H)
using namespace std;
#endif
#include "HalconCpp.h"

main()
{
  cout << "Reproduction of 'closing ()' using " << endl;
  cout << "'dilation()' and 'minkowski_sub1()'" << endl;

  HByteImage img("monkey");
  HWindow    w;

  HRegion      circ = HRegion::GenCircle (10, 10, 1.5);
  HRegionArray regs = (img >= 128).Connection();

  HRegionArray dilreg = regs.Dilation1 (circ, 1);
  HRegionArray minsub = dilreg.MinkowskiSub1 (circ, 1);

                        img.Display (w);      w.Click ();
  w.SetColor ("red");   regs.Display (w);     w.Click ();
  w.SetColor ("green"); dilreg.Display (w);   w.Click ();
  w.SetColor ("blue");  minsub.Display (w);   w.Click ();

  return(0);

Example (C)

{
  Hobject  tmp;

Complexity

Let F1 be the area of the input region, and F2 be the area of the structuring element. Then the runtime complexity for one region is:

Result

closingclosingClosingClosingClosing returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty or no input region can be set via:

Otherwise, an exception is raised.
