Close
The Close module performs a dilation routine (grows the current white image), followed
by an erosion (shrinks the current white image). Dilation
followed by erosion will connect objects close to each other.
Interface
Instructions
1. Dilate Count - Specify the number of times to perform dilation before erosion. Higher numbers will
connect more distant objects.
2. Symmetrical - if you wish to dilate and then erode an unequal number of times (leaving the
resulting blob smaller or larger than the original) unselect the "Symmetrical" checkbox. This
will allow you to specify a different number fo the Erode Count.
3. Erode Count - only active if module is not symmetrical meaning the image will be
dilated and then eroded an unequal number of times.
4. Restrict erosian - if using an asymmetrical closing you may want to restrict the
eroding process to NOT erode more than the original image. Selecting "Restrict erosian"
will ensure that the eroding part of the prorcessing does not erode parts of the original
blob.
