close_image

public static BinaryFast close_image(BinaryFast b,
                                     int[] kernel,
                                     int iterations)

Method that takes a binary representation of an image, dilates using the specified kernel and then erodes using the same kernel.

Parameters:

b - The binary representation of the image.

kernel - The array representing the kernel values.

iterations - The number of iterations to be carried out.

Returns:

The binary representation of the new image.
