dilation(image, selem=None, out=None, shift_x=False, shift_y=False)

Morphological dilation sets a pixel at (i,j) to the maximum over all pixels in the neighborhood centered at (i,j). Dilation enlarges bright regions and shrinks dark regions.

Notes

For :None:None:`uint8` (and :None:None:`uint16` up to a certain bit-depth) data, the lower algorithm complexity makes the skimage.filters.rank.maximum function more efficient for larger images and structuring elements.

Parameters

image : ndarray

Image array.

selem : ndarray, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1's and 0's. If None, use cross-shaped structuring element (connectivity=1).

out : ndarray, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None, is passed, a new array will be allocated.

shift_x, shift_y : bool, optional

shift structuring element about center point. This only affects eccentric structuring elements (i.e. selem with even numbered sides).

Returns

dilated : uint8 array, same shape and type as `image`

The result of the morphological dilation.

Return greyscale morphological dilation of an image.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> # Dilation enlarges bright regions
... import numpy as np
... from skimage.morphology import square
... bright_pixel = np.array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...  [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
...  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=np.uint8)
... dilation(bright_pixel, square(3)) array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=uint8)

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
