MinFilter method (Main Control)

Visual Basic example
Visual C++ 5.0 example

Syntax short MinFilter (short iDim);

Overview: Refer to Removing Noise.

Remarks

(Document/Medical only) Dilates dark objects by the amount that you specify.

This is a more controlled version of the omni-directional dilation filter that you can set with the BinaryFilter method.

You control the effect by specifying the size of the neighborhood that is used for calculating each pixel value. For example, for 8x8, pass 8 in the iDim parameter. Each pixel is replaced with the minimum value of its neighborhood.

This method can process the whole image or a region of the image.

This method supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
