ErodeRegion_AnyKernel


Module: FoundationBasic

Performs a morphological erosion on a region using an arbitrary kernel.

Applications

Making the region thinner in a non-symmetrical way or removing small parts of a particular shape.
Name Type Description
Input value inRegion Region Input region
Input value inKernel Region Kernel shape (any)
Input value inKernelAnchor Location* Location within inKernel, defining its center
Output value outRegion Region Output region

Description

The operation is a cousin of the ErodeRegion filter, yet it uses any proper region selected by user as a structuring element. The center of a kernel is assumed to be at location (width/2,height/2). Refer to the ErodeRegion article for further information regarding the morphological erosion itself.

Examples

Hardware Acceleration

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Empty kernel on input in ErodeRegion_AnyKernel.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.

Filter Group

This filter is member of ErodeRegion filter group.
