Improving features and performance of binary erode and dilate filters
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
Binary erosion and dilation are the base filters of binary mathematical morphology.
In ITK 2.4.1 verb$BinaryDilateImageFilter$ and verb$BinaryErodeImageFilter$ implement
an efficient algorithm described in cite{Nikopoulos2000}. However, those filter lack [...]

Morphological reconstruction may be implemented in a number of
different ways. ITK has an iterative method and a non iterative
method. This article compares the performance of another non iterative
method and finds a significant improvement.

It is sometimes useful to be able to apply binary morphological operations, such as erosions and dilations, to labelled images in a fashion that preserves the labels. This article introduces a specialised class implementing parallel methods described in beare [...]
