Hi,

Does anyone have any practical experience using the erosion
and dilation operators in IDL? I can't make much sense of the
documentation. In particular, I can't figure out what a good
structuring element would be.

I am working with ice flow data. I want to calculate the
size of the ice flows, but first I have to pick them out.
I've fooled around with thresholding, edge operators, etc.,
but in the end the data is still "messy", without clearly
defined boundaries, or with small "artifact" ice flows
inside the larger, definate ice flows. I thought erosion
and dilation would be a good way to clean up the data,
but I can't see how it works exactly.

I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks,

David

Let me say there were mysterious glasses, which changed the written 'not
nessesarily true' to 'what a stupid bull...'.
I do not know who fixed these glasses in front of my monitor but - truly
not you.
You are right - that is not the way we should talk with each other.
I am sorry.

Cheers,

Achim
