gray_bothat ( Image, SE : ImageBotHat : : )

Perform a gray value bottom hat transformation on an image.

gray_bothat applies a gray value bottom hat transformation to the input image Image with the structuring element SE. The gray value bottom hat transformation of an image i with a structuring element s is defined as

  bothat(i,s) = (i +- s) - i ,
i.e., the difference of the closing of the image with s and the image (see gray_closing). For the generation of structuring elements, see read_gray_se.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
image(-array) -> object : byte / real
Input image.

SE (input_object)
image -> object : byte
Structuring element.

ImageBotHat (output_object)
image(-array) -> object : byte / real
Bottom hat image.


Result

gray_bothat returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the structuring element is not the empty region. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
