Best way is to test

m=imread("f:/lib/opencv/samples/data/fruits.jpg",CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
Mat m2=Mat::ones(2,2,CV_8U);
Mat m3=Mat::ones(3,3,CV_8U);
Matdst2,dst3,dst;
dilate(m,dst2,m2);
dilate(m,dst3,m3);
subtract(dst2,dst3,dst,Mat(),CV_16S);
float x = norm(dst);
cout<<"Difference between erode 2x2 and 3x3 : "<<x;

the difference is 4337.25 and for anchor (ksize = 2 or 3 in my example and anchor.x==-1) line 357 filterengine.hpp opencv 3.0

   if( anchor.x == -1 )
       anchor.x = ksize.width/2;
   if( anchor.y == -1 )
       anchor.y = ksize.height/2;

I already try it, but the kernel 2x2 and 3x3 give result the same image, and where opencv put the origin of structure element if kernel 2x2?

@LBerger I'm sorry there is mistake when I writing the code, it's giving different result now, but I'm still confuse the anchor x,y value. If default value=(-1,-1) and I use kernel 2x2 so the anchor x,y=1, so it's mean the origin is in bottom right for kernel 2x2 isn't it?

Yes with -1 default value is width and height which are used. Filter for 2x2 filter ksize=2 so 2/2 equal 1

_0 1

0 - -

1 - x

and center is at x

@LBerger ahh.. Thanks for helping me.. I understand now... :)

@LBerger, can I ask the last question? Is there maximum value for parameter iterations?

Shiloh ( 2015-06-28 05:21:44 -0600 )edit

If Iterations value is 25 itmeans that you are going to make 25 dilate. But in opencv source code at line 1698 you can find that image is dilated only once. But operator is resize 25 times in function getStructuringElement at line 1028 . Of course results are similar. In that case you must pay attention to border value.Hence Limit is relative to source image size something like max(height,rows) of source image divide size of structuring element

PS I hope that my reading is good may be you should check it if you have a specific ned for dilate

I can understand your explanation very well, thank you so much for explanation and the reference source code.. :)
