Perform morphological dilation of a window
dilation.owin(w, r, ...) dilate.owin(w, r, ...)
w |
A window (object of class "owin" . |
r |
positive number: the radius of dilation. |

extra arguments to as.mask
controlling the pixel resolution |
The morphological dilation of a set W by a distance r > 0 is the set consisting of all points lying at most r units away from W. Effectively, dilation adds a margin of width r onto the set W.
The functions dilate.owin
and dilation.owin
are
identical, and compute the dilation of the window w
.
The window w
is first approximated by a binary pixel image,
and the arguments "..."
are passed to as.mask
to determine the pixel resolution. There is a sensible default.
Another object of class "owin"
representing the
dilated window.

erode.owin
for the opposite operation.
