ThickenRegion


Header: FIL.h
Namespace: fil
Module: FoundationBasic

Performs a morphological thickening on a region using predefined kernels.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void fil::ThickenRegion
(
	const fil::Region& inRegion,
	fil::Region& outRegion
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
Input value
 inRegion const Region& Input region
Output value
 outRegion Region& Output region

Description

The operation performs a morphological thickening. Similarly to other region morphology operations, thickening is conducted using a shape called kernel (or structuring element). There are two kernels: hit kernel and miss kernel, which are passed as parameters to RegionHitAndMissTransform. This operation's result is then added to the input region giving the output region. The filter uses internally predefined kernels, which are dual to those from ThinRegion filter.
