Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage, class TKernel>
class itk::BinaryErodeImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage, TKernel >

Binary erosion of an image.

Erode an image using binary morphology. Gray scale images can be processed as binary images by selecting an "ErodeValue". Pixel values matching the erode value are considered the "foreground" and all other pixels are "background". This is useful in processing segmented images where all pixels in segment #1 have value 1 and pixels in segment #2 have value 2, etc. A particular "segment number" can be processed. ErodeValue defaults to the maximum possible value of the PixelType.

Binary erosion will set a pixel as the "ErodeValue" if all of the pixels in the image for "on" structuring element pixels have a value of "ErodeValue". Otherwise, the center pixel is set to an appropriate "background" value. For lack of something better, the background value used will be the minimum of the pixels that were not the ErodeValue.

The structuring element is assumed to be composed of binary values (zero or one). Only elements of the structuring element having values > 0 ("on" values) are candidates for affecting the center pixel. A reasonable choice of structuring element is itk::BinaryBallStructuringElement.

For the each input image pixel,

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage, class TKernel>
PixelType itk::BinaryErodeImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage, TKernel >::Evaluate const NeighborhoodIteratorType   nit,
const KernelType   kernel
[protected, virtual]
 

Evaluate image neighborhood with kernel to find the new value for the center pixel value

It will return the ErodeValue if all of the image pixels in the neighborhood have the ErodeValue and that pixel's corresponding element in the structuring element is positive. This version of Evaluate is used for non-boundary pixels.
