Dilate Activity

The Dilate activity processes an input image to expand its thin-seeming parts. This morphological operation, often referred to as dilation, is useful for enhancing features, bridging small gaps, or increasing the size of foreground objects within an image.

Field Description Requirement
Input image Path, file name, and extension of the image to be processed. Required
Output image Path, file name, and extension for the processed output image. Required
Dilate coefficient Determines the intensity of dilation. Higher values result in more pronounced dilation. The default value is 9. Optional

Action Types & Examples

Input Image Path

  • Format: string
  • Example Result: C:Robustarobusta.jpg

Output Image Path

  • Format: string
  • Example Result: C:Robustagrayscale.jpg

Dilate Coefficient Value

  • Format: integer
  • Example Result: 50

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Input image: C:Robustarobusta.jpg - Output image: C:Robustagrayscale.jpg - Dilate coefficient: 50

Technical Notes

The Dilate activity performs a morphological dilation operation on the input image. The Dilate coefficient parameter directly controls the extent of this expansion; a larger coefficient value will result in a more significant dilation effect. If not explicitly set, the activity will apply a default Dilate coefficient of 9.
