Opening

Opening[image,ker]

gives the morphological opening of image with respect to the structuring element ker.

Opening[image,r]

gives the opening with respect to a range-r square.

Opening[data,…]

applies opening to an array of data.

Details

  • Opening 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.
  • Opening automatically pads structuring elements to have odd dimensions.
  • Opening[image,r] is equivalent to Opening[image,BoxMatrix[r]].
