Module Description
This module aims to perform erosion method in order to make the two different objects separate in a given image. After separating them, the next step will be creating a label map and changing the labels to specify different regions.
This method uses a structuring element in order to cover the object border with given foreground value. It shrinks the object with this structuring element. For this project, the structuring element is ball structuring element with a radius size which is defined by the user.
For example, the results given in Screen shots part, the structuring element is ball structuring element with radius 5. It took 7 iterations in order to get the desired output before creating different labels.
The input of this module is the output of the BinaryThresholding( or LabelBinaryImages) module at the beginning. For the following iterations, the input is the eroded binary image from the previous iteration.
