Description

thinningthinningThinningThinningThinning performs a thinning of the input regions using morphological operations. The operator first applies a hit-or-miss-transformation to RegionRegionRegionRegionregion (cf. hit_or_misshit_or_missHitOrMissHitOrMissHitOrMiss), and then removes the detected points from the input region. The parameter IterationsIterationsIterationsIterationsiterations determines the number of iterations performed.

For the choice of the structuring elements StructElement1StructElement1StructElement1StructElement1structElement1 and StructElement2StructElement2StructElement2StructElement2structElement2, as well as for RowRowRowRowrow and ColumnColumnColumnColumncolumn, the same restrictions described under hit_or_misshit_or_missHitOrMissHitOrMissHitOrMiss apply.

Structuring elements (StructElement1StructElement1StructElement1StructElement1structElement1, StructElement2StructElement2StructElement2StructElement2structElement2) can be generated with operators such as gen_circlegen_circleGenCircleGenCircleGenCircle, gen_rectangle1gen_rectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1, gen_rectangle2gen_rectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2, gen_ellipsegen_ellipseGenEllipseGenEllipseGenEllipse, draw_regiondraw_regionDrawRegionDrawRegionDrawRegion, gen_region_polygongen_region_polygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygon, gen_region_pointsgen_region_pointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPoints, etc.

Complexity

Let F be the area of an input region, F1 the area of the structuring element 1, and F2 the area of the structuring element 2. Then the runtime complexity for one object is:

Result

thinningthinningThinningThinningThinning returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty or no input region can be set via:

Otherwise, an exception is raised.
