vtkImageOpenClose3D

Section: Visualization Toolkit Imaging Classes

Usage

vtkImageOpenClose3D performs opening or closing by having two vtkImageErodeDilates in series. The size of operation is determined by the method SetKernelSize, and the operator is an ellipse. OpenValue and CloseValue determine how the filter behaves. For binary images Opening and closing behaves as expected. Close value is first dilated, and then eroded. Open value is first eroded, and then dilated. Degenerate two dimensional opening/closing can be achieved by setting the one axis the 3D KernelSize to 1. Values other than open value and close value are not touched. This enables the filter to processes segmented images containing more than two tags.

To create an instance of class vtkImageOpenClose3D, simply invoke its constructor as follows
