Pruning

Menu:   Processing > Morphology… > Basic->Pruning

Script:   prune

Use this command to reduce the size of branches or completely remove them from the skeletons of objects in a multiphase image. The function works by finding end-point pixels and successively removing them from the image.

If you choose this command, the following options will become available:

Input

Displays the input image frame number. If you want to perform the operation on another image, type or select the corresponding value.

Output

Displays the number of the frame in which the output image will be created. Depending on the Preferences. ImageWarp will set it either to the first available value or to the Input frame number. Type or select another value if you want the output image to be created in a different frame.

Preview

Select this check box to watch the Preview of the output image.

Length

Lets you select the length of the branches to be removed, which is equivalent to the number of pruning iterations. If this option is set to zero, ImageWarp will continue to iterate until the objects are completely pruned.
