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[data,…]

applies closing to an array of data.

Details

  • Closing works with arbitrary 2D and 3D images, operating separately on each channel, as well as data arrays of any rank.
  • The structuring element ker is a matrix containing 0s and 1s.
  • Closing automatically pads structuring elements to have odd dimensions.
  • Closing[image,r] is equivalent to Closing[image,BoxMatrix[r]].
