morphology: Morphology: Erosion or Dilatation of Features on a Raster Map

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

morphology performs morphological operations on images of class asc.

Usage

1
morphology(x, operation = c("erode", "dilate"), nt = 5)

Arguments

x

a matrix of class asc

operation

a character string indicating the operation to be processed: either "erode" or "dilate"

nt

the number of times that the operation should be processed

Value

Returns a matrix of class asc, containing 1 when the pixel belong to one feature of the image and NA otherwise (see examples).
