2.6.8.19. Greyscale dilation

This example illustrates greyscale mathematical morphology.

from scipy import ndimage
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

im = np.zeros((64, 64))
np.random.seed(2)
x, y = (63*np.random.random((2, 8))).astype(np.int)
im[x, y] = np.arange(8)

bigger_points = ndimage.grey_dilation(im, size=(5, 5), structure=np.ones((5, 5)))

square = np.zeros((16, 16))
square[4:-4, 4:-4] = 1
dist = ndimage.distance_transform_bf(square)
dilate_dist = ndimage.grey_dilation(dist, size=(3, 3), \
        structure=np.ones((3, 3)))
