outImage = morphitermod_cvip(binImage, setsSurr, n, boolFunc, rotate)

Input Parameters include :

binImage - Binary image of MxN size.

setsSurr - A row vector containing the ids of the surrounds. The maximum length is 14. For examples, [2 5 7] or [1:14].

                 surrounds id = 1  ---->  0 0 x
                                          0 b 0
                                          x 0 0

                 surrounds id = 2  ---->  0 1 x
                                          0 b 0
                                          x 0 0

                 surrounds id = 3  ---->  1 1 x
                                          0 b 0
                                          x 0 0
                        .
                        .
                        .

                 surrounds id = 14 ---->  1 1 x
                                          0 b 0
                                          x 1 1

                 If multiple surrounds are selected, a_ij = 1 if any of
                 the surrounds are present. See reference 1 for other
                 surrounds, which are not shown above.

                                                            (default: 7)

n - Number of iterations. (default: 1)

boolFunc - Boolean function L(a,b)

                 boolFunc = 1  ---->  !a     (i.e. NOT a)

                 boolFunc = 2  ---->  ab     (i.e a AND b)

                 boolFunc = 3  ---->  a+b    (i.e a OR b)

                 boolFunc = 4  ---->  a^b    (i.e a XOR b)

                 boolFunc = 5  ---->  (!a)b  (i.e (NOT a) AND b)

                 boolFunc = 6  ---->  (a!b)  (i.e a AND (NOT b))

                                                            (default: 1)

rotate - Rotate each surrounds set. Checks each surrounds set in all six directions if rotate option is set ON.

                 rotate = 0  ---->  OFF
                 rotate = 1  ---->  ON

                                                            (default: 0)

Output Parameter include :

outImage - Output image of iterative morphological modification. It is of Boolean class.

DESCRIPTION

The function performs an iterative morphological modification of a binary image. To perform morphological modification,first,a_ij is found for each pixel;a_ij is 1 if (i,j)th pixel has the user specified surrounds or 0 otherwise. Then,morphological operation is performed between a_ij and b_ij,where b_ij is current pixel value(either 1 or 0). The user can specify the morphological operation by choosing one of the boolean function from the pre-defined list. A total of 14 surrounds sets are available. Each surrounds set has six surrounding pixels as we have considered NW/SE six connectivity. If rotate option is set ON, the surrounds are checked in all six directions. The morophological modification is repeated n times.
