DilateImage_Mask

Advanced

Module: FoundationLite

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

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

Description

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

This filter is a simplified version of DilateImage. 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 DilateImage filter.

Examples

DilateImage_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 is optimized for NEON technology for pixels of types: UINT8, SINT8, SINT16, UINT16, SINT32, REAL.

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 DilateImage_Mask.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.

Filter Group

This filter is member of DilateImage filter group.
