Description

The opening_segopening_segOpeningSegOpeningSegOpeningSegopening_seg operation is defined as a sequence of the following operators: erosion1erosion1Erosion1Erosion1Erosion1erosion1, connectionconnectionConnectionConnectionConnectionconnection and dilation1dilation1Dilation1Dilation1Dilation1dilation1 (see example). Only one iteration is done in erosion1erosion1Erosion1Erosion1Erosion1erosion1 and dilation1dilation1Dilation1Dilation1Dilation1dilation1.

opening_segopening_segOpeningSegOpeningSegOpeningSegopening_seg serves to separate overlapping regions whose area of overlap is smaller than StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElementstruct_element. It should be noted that the resulting regions can overlap without actually merging (see expand_regionexpand_regionExpandRegionExpandRegionExpandRegionexpand_region). opening_segopening_segOpeningSegOpeningSegOpeningSegopening_seg uses the center of gravity as the reference point of the structuring element.

Structuring elements (StructElementStructElementStructElementStructElementstructElementstruct_element) can be generated with operators such as gen_circlegen_circleGenCircleGenCircleGenCirclegen_circle, gen_rectangle1gen_rectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1GenRectangle1gen_rectangle1, gen_rectangle2gen_rectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2GenRectangle2gen_rectangle2, gen_ellipsegen_ellipseGenEllipseGenEllipseGenEllipsegen_ellipse, draw_regiondraw_regionDrawRegionDrawRegionDrawRegiondraw_region, gen_region_polygongen_region_polygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygonGenRegionPolygongen_region_polygon, gen_region_pointsgen_region_pointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsGenRegionPointsgen_region_points, etc.

Complexity

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

Result

opening_segopening_segOpeningSegOpeningSegOpeningSegopening_seg returns 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.
