Description

dilation2dilation2Dilation2Dilation2Dilation2dilation2 dilates the input regions with a structuring element (StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElementstruct_element) having the reference point (RowRowRowRowrowrow,ColumnColumnColumnColumncolumncolumn). dilation2dilation2Dilation2Dilation2Dilation2dilation2 has a similar effect as dilation1dilation1Dilation1Dilation1Dilation1dilation1, the difference is that the reference point of the structuring element can be chosen arbitrarily. The parameter IterationsIterationsIterationsIterationsiterationsiterations determines the number of iterations which are to be performed with the structuring element. The result of iteration n-1 is used as input for iteration n.

An empty region is generated in case of an empty structuring element.

Structuring elements (StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElementstruct_element) can be generated with operators such as gen_circlegen_circleGenCircleGenCircleGenCirclegen_circle, gen_rectangle1gen_rectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1gen_rectangle1, gen_rectangle2gen_rectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2gen_rectangle2, gen_ellipsegen_ellipseGenEllipseGenEllipseGenEllipsegen_ellipse, draw_regiondraw_regionDrawRegionDrawRegionDrawRegiondraw_region, gen_region_polygongen_region_polygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygongen_region_polygon, gen_region_pointsgen_region_pointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsgen_region_points, etc.

Attention

A dilation always results in enlarged regions. Closely spaced regions which may touch or overlap as a result of the dilation are still treated as two separate regions. If the desired behavior is to merge them into one region, the operator union1union1Union1Union1Union1union1 has to be called first.

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

dilation2dilation2Dilation2Dilation2Dilation2dilation2 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.
