grey_closing#

scipy.ndimage.grey_closing(input, size=None, footprint=None, structure=None, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, origin=0, *, axes=None)[source]#

Multidimensional grayscale closing.

A grayscale closing consists in the succession of a grayscale dilation, and a grayscale erosion.

Parameters:
inputarray_like

Array over which the grayscale closing is to be computed.

sizetuple of ints

Shape of a flat and full structuring element used for the grayscale closing. Optional if footprint or structure is provided.

footprintarray of ints, optional

Positions of non-infinite elements of a flat structuring element used for the grayscale closing.

structurearray of ints, optional

Structuring element used for the grayscale closing. structure may be a non-flat structuring element. The structure array applies offsets to the pixels in a neighborhood (the offset is additive during dilation and subtractive during erosion)

outputarray, optional

An array used for storing the output of the closing may be provided.

mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘reflect’

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.

originscalar, optional

The origin parameter controls the placement of the filter. Default 0

axestuple of int or None

The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, input is filtered along all axes. If an origin tuple is provided, its length must match the number of axes.

Returns:
grey_closingndarray

Result of the grayscale closing of input with structure.

Notes

The action of a grayscale closing with a flat structuring element amounts to smoothen deep local minima, whereas binary closing fills small holes.
