Closing

Closing[image, ker]
gives the morphological closing of image with respect to the structuring element ker.
Closing[image, r]
gives the closing with respect to a range r square.
  • Closing works with binary, grayscale and other images.
  • The structuring element ker is a matrix containing 0s and 1s.
  • Closing automatically pads structuring elements to have odd dimensions.
  • If multiple image channels are present, Closing operates on each of them separately.
