Name

erode — Morphological erosion of binary images

Calling Sequence

E = erode(Img, [SE, center])

Parameters

Img
M x N Binary image to be eroded. (0 for background, 1 for object)
E
M x N Binary eroded image.
SE
Arbitrary structuring element represented as a binary array. Defaults to
center
origin of structuring element. Shold be within image dimensions. Defaults to the center of the SE array.

Description

Function erode performs morphological erosion of a binary image Img using SE as the structuring element.

Examples

       initial_dir = PWD;
       chdir (SIPDIR + 'images');

       Img = gray_imread('disks2.bmp');
       imshow(Img,2);
       Img = 1-Img;
       SE = ones(10,10);
       e = erode(Img, SE);
       xbasc()
       imshow(e ,2);
