Abstract

See full text

Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with image morphology operations that provide fractional pixel dilation and erosion are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes scaling logic configured to scale up an input data structure of image pixel data from a first number of pixels to a second number of pixels to generate a scaled-up data structure of image pixel data. The apparatus also includes morphology logic configured to perform a morphological operation on the scaled-up data structure of image pixel data to generate a morphed data structure of image pixel data. The apparatus further includes sub-sampling logic configured to sub-sample the morphed data structure of image pixel data to generate an output data structure of image pixel data. The output data structure of image pixel data has a same number of pixels as the input data structure of image pixel data.
