DilateRegion_AnyKernel

Advanced

Module: FoundationBasic

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

Applications

Making the region thicker in a non-symmetrical way or filling-in gaps of a particular shape.
Name Type Description
Input value inRegion Region Input region
Input value inKernel Region Kernel shape (any)
Input value inKernelAnchor Location* Location within inKernel, defining its center
Output value outRegion Region Output region

Description

The operation is a cousin of the DilateRegion 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 DilateRegion article for further information regarding the morphological dilation itself.

Examples

Hardware Acceleration

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 Empty kernel on input in DilateRegion_AnyKernel.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.

Filter Group

This filter is member of DilateRegion filter group.
