ErodeRegion_AnyKernel


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.
Name Type Description
inRegion Region Input region
inKernel Region Kernel shape (any)
inKernelAnchor Location* 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.

Examples
