libmorpho

A library for simple mathematical morphology operations on images with arbritary shaped structuring elements.

What is libmorpho? libmorpho is a free software library written in ANSI C that implements several basic operations of mathematical morphology: erosions, dilations, openings, and closings by lines, rectangles, or arbitrary shaped structuring elements or by structuring functions. The software is released under the GNU General Public License

Source code in ANSI C

• Implementation in the C langage: see the libmorpho-v1.3-src directory

Documentation:

• Documentation generated with doxygen: see the libmorphoDoc directory or follow the link http://www.telecom.ulg.ac.be/research/libmorphoDoc/index.html

Illustrations:

Original:	U-shaped SE (upscaled though):
Erosion:	Dilation:
Opening:	Closing:
