scipy.ndimage.grey_opening#
- scipy.ndimage.grey_opening(input, size=None, footprint=None, structure=None, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, origin=0)[source]#
Multidimensional grayscale opening.
A grayscale opening consists in the succession of a grayscale erosion, and a grayscale dilation.
- Parameters
- inputarray_like
Array over which the grayscale opening is to be computed.
- sizetuple of ints
Shape of a flat and full structuring element used for the grayscale opening. Optional if footprint or structure is provided.
- footprintarray of ints, optional
Positions of non-infinite elements of a flat structuring element used for the grayscale opening.
- structurearray of ints, optional
Structuring element used for the grayscale opening. structure may be a non-flat structuring element.
- outputarray, optional
An array used for storing the output of the opening may be provided.
- mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional
The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘reflect’
- cvalscalar, optional
Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.
- originscalar, optional
The origin parameter controls the placement of the filter. Default 0
- Returns
- grey_openingndarray
Result of the grayscale opening of input with structure.
Notes
The action of a grayscale opening with a flat structuring element amounts to smoothen high local maxima, whereas binary opening erases small objects.
