dilate - Morphological dilation of binary images

Calling Sequence

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

Input Parameters

Output Parameters

Description

Function dilate performs morphological dilation of a binary image Img using SE as the structuring element.

Examples

   Img = imread(SIPDIR+'images/tru.jpg');
   Img = 1-im2bw(Img, 0.3);
   Img = thin(Img);
   xbasc()
   imshow(Img, 2);

   e = dilate(Img);
   xbasc()
   imshow(e, 2);

   SE = eye(10,10);
   e = dilate(Img, SE, [1,1]);
   xbasc()
   imshow(e, 2);

Remarks

The algorithm is fully functional, but there exists many better ones. The present implementation will certainly change, but the interface shall remain unaltered.
