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.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

Opening morphology operator equals to erosion followed by dilation.

Applied to binary image, the filter may be used for removing small object keeping big objects unchanged. Since erosion is used first, it removes all small objects. Then dilation restores big objects, which were not removed by erosion.

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

Sample usage:

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