ErodeRegion_AnyKernel

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl
Module:	FoundationBasic

Performs a morphological erosion on a region using an arbitrary kernel.

Applications: Making the region thinner in a non-symmetrical way or removing small parts of a particular shape.

Syntax

void avl::ErodeRegion_AnyKernel
(
	const avl::Region& inRegion,
	const avl::Region& inKernel,
	atl::Optional<const avl::Location&> inKernelAnchor,
	avl::Region& outRegion
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
inRegion	const Region&		Input region
inKernel	const Region&		Kernel shape (any)
inKernelAnchor	Optional<const Location&>	NIL	Location within inKernel, defining its center
outRegion	Region&		Output region

Description

The operation is a cousin of the ErodeRegion filter, yet it uses any proper region selected by user as a structuring element. The center of a kernel is assumed to be at location (width/2,height/2). Refer to the ErodeRegion article for further information regarding the morphological erosion itself.
