By the way, I do have binary erosion and dilation, along with connected components analysis, flood fill region grow, and several other common 2D/3D image processing functions working in NumPy. I would be glad to share them. I don't know how similar the interface is to IDL, since I have never used IDL. - Joe Reinhardt -- Joseph M.

Rick and Joe, I'm not familiar with these erosion and dialation functions. Are they something that should be in SciPy? We could start an "idl" package that houses functions familiar to this community. Or maybe they should live in another place like "signal" or maybe an image processing package. Thoughts? I've crossed posted this to the scipy-dev@scipy.org list as this is probably the best place to continue such a discussion. eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Reinhardt" <jmr@engineering.uiowa.edu> To: <numpy-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 11:12 PM Subject: [Numpy-discussion] converting IDL to python

Dilation and erosion are image processing functions used to "grow" and "shrink" objects and boundaries. They are part of a group of image operators based on the theory of mathematical morphology. Overall, they are very extremely useful for shape/size analysis on images. Yes, they should certainly be part of any image processing toolbox for Python.
