ITKBinaryOpeningByReconstructionImage

=====================================

Group (Subgroup)

ITKImageProcessing (ITKImageProcessing)

Description

binary morphological closing of an image.

This filter removes small (i.e., smaller than the structuring element) objects in the image. It is defined as: Opening(f) = ReconstructionByDilatation(Erosion(f)).

The structuring element is assumed to be composed of binary values (zero or one). Only elements of the structuring element having values > 0 are candidates for affecting the center pixel.
