Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ vpConnexityType

Type of connexity 4, or 8.

Enumerator
CONNEXITY_4 

For a given pixel 4 neighbors are considered (left, right, up, down)

CONNEXITY_8 

For a given pixel 8 neighbors are considered (left, right, up, down, and the 4 pixels located on the diagonal)

◆ dilatation() [1/3]

template<typename T >
void vpImageMorphology::dilatation ( vpImage< T > &  I,
const int &  size 
)
static

Dilatation of size >=3 with 8-connectivity.

The dilatation of $ A \left( x, y \right) $ by $ B \left (x, y \right) $ is defined as:

\[ \left ( A \oplus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{max} \left \{ A \left ( x-x', y-y' \right ) + B \left ( x', y'\right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

where $ D_B $ is the domain of the structuring element $ B $ and $ A \left( x,y \right) $ is assumed to be $ - \infty $ outside the domain of the image.

In our case, the dilatation is performed with a flat structuring element $ \left( B \left( x,y \right) = 0 \right) $. The dilatation using such a structuring element is equivalent to a local-maximum operator:

\[ \left ( A \oplus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{max} \left \{ A \left ( x-x', y-y' \right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

Template Parameters
TAny type of image, except vpRGBa .
Parameters
[out]IThe image to which the dilatation must be applied, where the dilatation corresponds to a max operator on a window of size size.
[in]sizeThe size of the window on which is performed the max operator for each pixel.

◆ dilatation() [2/3]

template<typename T >
void vpImageMorphology::dilatation ( vpImage< T > &  I,
const vpConnexityType connexity = CONNEXITY_4 
)
static

Dilate an image using the given structuring element.

The dilatation of $ A \left( x, y \right) $ by $ B \left (x, y \right) $ is defined as:

\[ \left ( A \oplus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{max} \left \{ A \left ( x-x', y-y' \right ) + B \left ( x', y'\right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

where $ D_B $ is the domain of the structuring element $ B $ and $ A \left( x,y \right) $ is assumed to be $ - \infty $ outside the domain of the image.

In our case, the dilatation is performed with a flat structuring element $ \left( B \left( x,y \right) = 0 \right) $. The dilatation using such a structuring element is equivalent to a local-maximum operator:

\[ \left ( A \oplus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{max} \left \{ A \left ( x-x', y-y' \right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

◆ dilatation() [3/3]

template<class Type >
void vpImageMorphology::dilatation ( vpImage< Type > &  I,
Type  value,
Type  value_out,
vpConnexityType  connexity = CONNEXITY_4 
)
static

Dilate a binary image using a structuring element of size one.

Parameters
I: Image to process.
value: Values of the pixels to dilate.
value_out: Value to set if dilatation is done.
connexity: Type of connexity: 4 or 8.

To dilate a black area in an unsigned char image with one element mask, set value to 0 and value_out to 255.

To dilate a white area in an unsigned char image with one element mask, set value to 255 and value_out to 0.

◆ erosion() [1/3]

template<typename T >
void vpImageMorphology::erosion ( vpImage< T > &  I,
const int &  size 
)
static

Erosion of size >=3 with 8-connectivity. Erode an image using the given structuring element.

The erosion of $ A \left( x, y \right) $ by $ B \left (x, y \right) $ is defined as:

\[ \left ( A \ominus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{min} \left \{ A \left ( x+x', y+y' \right ) - B \left ( x', y'\right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

where $ D_B $ is the domain of the structuring element $ B $ and $ A \left( x,y \right) $ is assumed to be $ + \infty $ outside the domain of the image.

In our case, the erosion is performed with a flat structuring element $ \left( B \left( x,y \right) = 0 \right) $. The erosion using such a structuring element is equivalent to a local-minimum operator:

\[ \left ( A \ominus B \right ) \left( x,y \right) = \textbf{min} \left \{ A \left ( x+x', y+y' \right ) | \left ( x', y'\right ) \subseteq D_B \right \} \]

Template Parameters
TAny type of image, except vpRGBa .
Parameters
[out]IThe image to which the erosion must be applied, where the erosion corresponds to a min operator on a window of size size.
[in]sizeThe size of the window on which is performed the min operator for each pixel.

Erode an image using the given structuring element.

The erosion of $ A \left( x, y \right) $ by $ B \left (x, y \right) $ is defined as:

In our case, the erosion is performed with a flat structuring element $ \left( B \left( x,y \right) = 0 \right) $. The erosion using such a structuring element is equivalent to a local-minimum operator:
