ThickenBinaryRep

public static BinaryFast ThickenBinaryRep(BinaryFast b,
                                          int[] kernel)

Takes a BinaryFast Image and a kernel and applies a single iteration of the thicken algorithm to the image.

Parameters:

b - the BinaryFast image

kernel - the thickening kernel

Returns:

the new thickened BinaryFast image

thicken_image

public static BinaryFast thicken_image(BinaryFast binary,
                                       int[] kernel,
                                       int iterations)

Takes an image and a kernel and applies thicken the specified number of times.

Parameters:

binary - the input image

kernel - the kernel

iteraitons - the specified number of iterations

Returns:

the thickened image
