ErodeImage_Mask


Module: FoundationLite

Replaces each pixel with the minimum of pixels within a small rectangular kernel.

Name Type Description
inImage Image Input image
inRoi Region* Range of outImage pixels to be computed
inKernel MorphologyKernel Selects a predefined kernel
outImage Image Output image

Description

The operation replaces each pixel with the darkest pixel in its neighbourhood, thus shrinking bright areas in inImage and expanding the dark ones.

This filter is a simplified version of ErodeImage. It is limited to only a few symmetric kernels and supports only basic ROI handling.

Please note that on some machines the filter execution time can be greater than execution time of the corresponding ErodeImage filter.

Examples

ErodeImage_Mask performed on the sample image with inKernel = Box3x3.

Hardware Acceleration

This operation is optimized for SSE2 technology for pixels of types: UINT8, SINT16, UINT16.

This operation is optimized for AVX2 technology for pixels of types: UINT8, SINT16, UINT16.

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Region exceeds an input image in ErodeImage_Mask.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Basic Complexity Level.

Filter Group

This filter is member of ErodeImage filter group.
