8.77. Erode/Dilate Mask
Group (Subgroup)
Processing (Cleanup)
Description
If the mask is dilated, the Filter grows the true regions by one Cell in an iterative sequence for a user defined number of iterations. During the dilate process, the classification of any Cell neighboring a false * Cell* will be changed to true. If the mask is eroded, the Filter shrinks the true regions by one Cell in an iterative sequence for a user defined number of iterations. During the erode process, the classification of the false Cells is changed to true if one of its neighbors is true. The Filter also offers the option(s) to turn on/off the erosion or dilation in specific directions (X, Y or Z).
This filter will ONLY change the Mask data array and not any of the other data arrays in the same attribute matrix.
The example images below were generated AFTER the execution of the filter and essentially any black pixel is where the Mask was false and any other color is where the Mask is true. (The colors are the typical IPF Colors using a <001> reference direction)
