Examples Of Resulting Images After Some Common Morphological Operations
Dilate
The Dilate operation sets each pixel in the output image as the largest luminance value of all
the input image pixels in the neighborhood defined by the selected kernel size. (Currently
fixed to 3x3)
Erode
The Erode operation sets each pixel in the output image as the smallest luminance value of
all the input image pixels in the neighborhood defined by the selected kernel size. (Fixed to
3x3)
Close
The Close operation is equivalent to a Dilate operation followed by an Erode operation. This
has the effect of removing small dark particles and holes within objects.
Open
The Open operation is equivalent to an Erode operation followed by a Dilate operation. This
has the effect of removing peaks from an image, leaving only the image background.
Histogram Operations
The action of a histogram operation depends on the histogram of the Input Image. The
Image Processing Tool provides the following histogram operations, each of which can only be
