Extension Methods
  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodHasMethod
Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodIsEqual
Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodToTOverloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.

Remarks

Closing morphology operator equals to ditation followed by erosion.

Applied to binary image, the filter may be used connect or fill objects. Since dilation is used first, it may connect/fill object areas. Then erosion restores objects. But since dilation may connect something before, erosion may not remove after that because of the formed connection.

See documentation to Erosion and Dilation classes for more information and list of supported pixel formats.

Sample usage:

// create filter
Closing filter = new Closing( );
// apply the filter
filter.Apply( image );

Initial image:
