RegionHitAndMissTransform

Advanced

Module: FoundationBasic

Performs a hit-and-miss transformation on a region using arbitrary kernels.

Name Type Description
Input value inRegion Region Input region
Input value inHitKernel Region The kernel of pixels that should be present
Input value inHitKernelAnchor Location* Location withing inHitKernel, defining its center
Input value inMissKernel Region The kernel of pixels that should be missing
Input value inMissKernelAnchor Location* Location withing inMissKernel, defining its center
Output value outRegion Region Output region

Description

The operation performs a hit-and-miss transformation. Similarly to other region morphology operations, hit-and-miss is conducted using a shape called kernel (or structuring element). In this particular case, there are two kernels: inHitKernel and inMissKernel. Both of them are repeatedly centered at each location within the dimensions of the input region. Then, pixel location L is added to the resulting region if and only if all of the inHitKernel pixels centered at L lie inside and all of the inMissKernel pixels centered at L lie outside the input region.

Examples

RegionHitAndMissTransform run with kernels \( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & X & X\\ 1 & 0 & X\\ 1 & X & X \end{bmatrix} \) where \( 1 \)'s represent pixels from inHitKernel, \( 0 \)'s from inMissKernel and \( X \)'s the other ones.
