Last Erosion Example


This operator is used on binary images to find a subset in each connected component such it is the last subset to disappear when one applies several erosions on the original image.

The idea is very simple, first one applies a distance operator on the image then one locates the local maxima by using the local maximum operator. In the images bellow we see all the steps.

The original image:

After applied the distance operator (a random color map was used here):

The last erosion result:
