NAME

fill_holes - fill small holes in binary HIPS images.  

SYNOPSIS

fill_holes [-s N][-e] < infile > outfile  

DESCRIPTION

fill_holes finds small holes between objects in binary images, and fill the holes with a pixel value of 255. Input image must be a binary image (with values of 0 and 255 only) of type byte. The main purpose of this program is to fix flaws in the bthin algorithm. The bthin program uses a very simple method to thin binary objects to a single pixel line, and an artifact of this algorithm is that the thinned objects will often have holes in them. This program will fill those holes.  

OPTIONS


 [-s N]   fill holes of size N ( default = 3).
 [-e]     fill holes between ends of lines only.
