Extracting the contours of a particle
- Click Binary»Basic Morphology or select Basic Morphology in the Binary tab of the Processing Functions palette.
- Select Gradient In to extract the interior contours of a particle or Gradient Out to extract the exterior contours of a particle.
- Set the Size of the Structuring Element.
- Click the cells of the structuring element that you want to have a value of 0.
- Click OK to apply the function and add this step to the script.
