Reconstruction requires a "seed" image and a "mask" image. The seed image gets dilated until it is constrained by the mask. The "seed" and "mask" images will be the minimum and maximum possible values of the reconstructed image, respectively. Parameters ---------- image : ndarray The seed image. mask : ndarray The maximum allowed value at each point. selem : ndarray The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1's and 0's. Returns ------- reconstructed : ndarray The result of morphological reconstruction. Notes ----- The algorithm is taken from: Robinson, "Efficient morphological reconstruction: a downhill filter", Pattern Recognition Letters 25 (2004) 1759-1767. Applications for greyscale reconstruction are discussed in: Vincent, L., "Morphological Grayscale Reconstruction in Image Analysis: Applications and Efficient Algorithms", IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (1993) Examples -------- Uses for greyscale reconstruction are described in Vincent (1993). For example, let's try to extract the features of an image by subtracting a background image created by reconstruction. First, create an image where the "bumps" are the features that we want to extract: >>> import numpy as np >>> from scikits.image.morphology.grey import grey_reconstruction >>> y, x = np.mgrid[:20:0.5, :20:0.5] >>> bumps = np.sin(x) + np.sin(y) To create the background image, set the mask image to the original image, and the seed image to the original image with an intensity offset, `h`. >>> h = 0.3 >>> seed = bumps - h >>> rec = grey_reconstruction(seed, bumps) The resulting reconstructed image looks exactly like the original image, but with the peaks of the bumps cut off. Subtracting this reconstructed image from the original image leaves just the peaks of the bumps >>> hdome = bumps - rec This operation is known as the h-dome of the image, which leaves features of height `h` in the subtracted image. The h-dome transform, and its inverse h-basin, are analogous to the white top-hat and black top-hat transforms, but don't require a structuring element.
