A8 Morphological Operations

July 15, 2008


In this activity, we tried to investigate the effects of dilation and erosion of an image by a structuring element. We predicted first what would happen and then simulated them in SciLab.
The structuring elements used were:
  • 4x4 ones
  • 2x4 ones
  • 4x2 ones
  • cross, 1pixel thick, 5 pixels long

We dilated and eroded images of a square, a triangle, a hollow square (60 x 60, 4px thick), a circle and a cross.

So far, most of my predictions were wrong. I was fairly good in guessing for the square, triangle and hollow square images and slightly for the cross. I was terrible with the circle.

I also realized that the image size I should should be larger than the shape of the actual square or triangle, etc. This is because if the input image Img is m x n, the dilated image is also m x n. Some parts were cut in the dilated image. But since in erosion the result is smaller than the image, the effect of this operation was more imminent.
