Morphological edge detector
#include "dip_morphology.h"
dip_Error dip_MorphologicalRange ( in, out, se, boundary, param, shape, edgeType )
integer, float
Implements a morphological edge detector based on the difference of two complementary morphological operations. These can be chosen through the edgeType parameter.
The rectangular, elliptic and diamond structuring elements are "flat", i.e. these structuring elements have a constant value. For these structuring elements, param determines the sizes of the structuring elements.
When shape is DIP_FLT_SHAPE_DISCRETE_LINE or DIP_FLT_SHAPE_INTERPOLATED_LINE, the structuring element is a line. param->array[0] determines the length, param->array[1] the angle. This is currently only supported for 2D images. Interpolated lines use interpolation to obtain a more accurate result, but loose the strict increasingness and extensivity (these properties are satisfied only by approximation).
When shape is set to DIP_FLT_SHAPE_PARABOLIC, params specifies the curvature of the parabola.
When shape is set to DIP_FLT_SHAPE_STRUCTURING_ELEMENT, se is used as structuring element. It can be either a binary or a grey-value image. Its origin is the center, or one pixel to the left of the center if the size is even.
If shape is not equal to DIP_FLT_SHAPE_STRUCTURING_ELEMENT, se can be set to zero. When shape is set to DIP_FLT_SHAPE_STRUCTURING_ELEMENT, param is ignored, and can be set to zero.
