Requires: NI Vision Development Module
Performs morphological reconstruction on a grayscale image. Morphological reconstruction reconstructs an image based on a Image Marker or Array of Points and highlights or removes small features without altering the shape of objects in the image.
Supported Image Types

![]() |
ROI Descriptor defines the region of interest (ROI) within which the morphological reconstruction is performed. The ROI supports multiple contours. All contours are considered to be external. The operation applies to the entire image if ROI Descriptor is empty or not connected.

![]() |
Image Src is a reference to the source image. |
||||||||||
![]() |
Image Dst is a reference to the destination image. |

![]() |
Image Marker is a reference to the marker image that defines where the reconstruction starts. The VI generates an error message if both Array of Points and Image Marker are specified. |
||||||||||
![]() |
Array of Points is an array of point-coordinates in a source image that define where the reconstruction starts. The VI generates an error message if both Image Marker and Array of Points are specified.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

Operation specifies the reconstruction operation. The default value is Dilation.

Structuring Element is a 2D array that contains the structuring element to apply to the image. The size of the structuring element (the size of this array) determines the processing size. A structuring element of 3 × 3 is used if this input is not connected. |

![]() |
Image Dst Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src. |
||||||||||
![]() |
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
