Example

To run this example in command-line, use the following:

otbcli_BinaryMorphologicalOperation -in qb_RoadExtract.tif -out opened.tif -channel 1 -structype.ball.xradius 5 -structype.ball.yradius 5 -filter erode

To run this example from Python, use the following code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import the otb applications package
import otbApplication

# The following line creates an instance of the BinaryMorphologicalOperation application
BinaryMorphologicalOperation = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("BinaryMorphologicalOperation")

# The following lines set all the application parameters:
BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterString("in", "qb_RoadExtract.tif")

BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterString("out", "opened.tif")

BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterInt("channel", 1)

BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterInt("structype.ball.xradius", 5)

BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterInt("structype.ball.yradius", 5)

BinaryMorphologicalOperation.SetParameterString("filter","erode")

# The following line execute the application
BinaryMorphologicalOperation.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()
