[Insight-users] bug in Morphology with parabolic structuring elements?

[Oleksandr Dzyubak]

Hi Richard,

Many thanks for you prompt response.
I successfully downloaded the latest version from the link you provided.
I see that you greatly updated your package. Now you have 47 files vs 31 in
the submission!
In your Cmake file there was a typo giving me the error below.

 CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
   Cannot find source file "dilateBinary.cxx".  Tried extensions .c .C .c++
   .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx

So to get rolling, I just commented out the "dilateBinary.cxx" file from my
building list.

Yes, you are right. Now testClose works but in a way I did not expect it to
(see uploaded result).

I observe couple "artifacts" there (which do not appear in testOpen! ):
"White Border" and "Severe Streaks".

However real Mystery starts later when I try to apply your Open-Close
algorithms to my images.
To demonstrate the problem, I also uploaded the input, opened, and closed
images.

Closed Image.

As you can see, testOpen still works but testClose does not.
Is that what you also observe in your tests or it is just me?

Regards,

Alex
