Opening

Class: NodeMaskOpening

Node Icon

Apply the morphological opening operation on a binary mask. The morphological opening of a binary mask \(I\) is defined as the dilation of the erosion of the mask: \(\textrm{Opening}\left(I\right) = \textrm{Dilatation}\left(\textrm{Erosion}\left(I\right)\right)\).

This filter removes small foreground structures in the mask. The size of the affected structures is controlled by the shape and size of the kernel.

Inputs

Mask

A binary mask.

Type: Image4DBool, Required, Single

Outputs

Out

A binary mask with the same spatial properties as the input mask.

Type: Image4DBool

Settings

Kernel Selection

The shape of the structuring element.

Values: Annulus, Ball, Box, Cross

Radius X Integer

The radius of the kernel in the X direction, specified in voxels.

Radius Y Integer

The radius of the kernel in the Y direction, specified in voxels.

Radius Z Integer

The radius of the kernel in the Z direction, specified in voxels.
