imextendedmax
Extended-maxima transform
Description
Examples
Perform Extended-Maxima transform
Read image into workspace.
I = imread('glass.png');
Calculate the extended-maxima transform.
BW = imextendedmax(I,80);
Display original image and transformed image side-by-side.
imshowpair(I,BW,'montage')
Input Arguments
I
— Input image
numeric array
Input image, specified as a numeric array of any dimension.
Example: I = imread('glass.png');

conn
— Pixel connectivity

| 18
| 26
| 3-by-3-by- ... -by-3 matrix of 0
s and
1
s
Pixel connectivity, specified as one of the values in this table. The
default connectivity is 8
for 2-D images, and
26
for 3-D images.
Value | Meaning | |
---|---|---|
Two-Dimensional Connectivities | ||
| Pixels are connected if their edges touch. The neighborhood of a pixel are the adjacent pixels in the horizontal or vertical direction. |
Current pixel is shown in gray. |
| Pixels are connected if their edges or corners touch. The neighborhood of a pixel are the adjacent pixels in the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction. |
Current pixel is shown in gray. |
Three-Dimensional Connectivities | ||
| Pixels are connected if their faces touch. The neighborhood of a pixel are the adjacent pixels in:
|
Current pixel is shown in gray. |
| Pixels are connected if their faces or edges touch. The neighborhood of a pixel are the adjacent pixels in:
|
Current pixel is center of cube. |
| Pixels are connected if their faces, edges, or corners touch. The neighborhood of a pixel are the adjacent pixels in:
|
Current pixel is center of cube. |
For higher dimensions, imextendedmax
uses the default
value
.conndef
(ndims(I),'maximal')
Connectivity can also be
defined in a more general way for any dimension by specifying a 3-by-3-by- ... -by-3 matrix of
0
s and 1
s. The 1
-valued elements
define neighborhood locations relative to the center element of conn
. Note
that conn
must be symmetric about its center element. See Specifying Custom Connectivities for more information.

Output Arguments

Extended Capabilities
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.
Usage notes and limitations:
imextendedmax
supports the generation of C code (requires MATLAB® Coder™). Note that if you choose the genericMATLAB Host Computer
target platform,imextendedmax
generates code that uses a precompiled, platform-specific shared library. Use of a shared library preserves performance optimizations but limits the target platforms for which code can be generated. For more information, see Types of Code Generation Support in Image Processing Toolbox.When generating code, the optional third input argument,
conn
, must be a compile-time constant.
