Morphological correction

Morphological correction

Open a dialog to change the detected features by making mathematical morphology operations.

The images shown hereafter are obtained from the following source image:

Erosion

Erosion discards one line of pixels around each object.

Dilation

Dilation adds one line of pixels around each object.

Opening

Opening consists in applying a dilation and an erosion one after another which results in opening the objects and separating grains hardly touching one another.

Closing

Closing consists in applying an erosion and a dilation one after another which results in closing the objects and in melting the grains hardly touching one another.

Strength

Strength or sensitivity of the morphological operation.

A 3x3 square is used as a structuring element. When the square moves over the image, at a given position, there is an intersection of 0 to 9 of its pixels with the pixels of the image's object.

▪When choosing the maximum strength of 4, an intersection with only 1 pixel of the structuring element is enough to add a pixel to the object (dilation). or to discard a pixel from the object (erosion).

▪When choosing the strength of 1, an intersection with at least 4 pixels is needed to discard or add a pixel.

Iteration

Number of times the correction is applied.

Max. value: 5
