Removing single pixels and right angles

1. Click Binary»Basic Morphology or select Basic Morphology in the Binary tab of the Processing Functions palette.
2. Select Thin to alter the shape of objects by eliminating parts to the object that match the pattern specified in the structuring element.
3. Set the Size of the Structuring Element.
4. Click the cells of the structuring element that you want to have a value of 0.
5. Click OK to apply the thinning and add this step to the script.

Note   The structuring element is a 2D array used as a binary mask. You can modify the structuring element by clicking its cells. If a cell is black, it has a value of 1. If a cell is white (empty), it has a value of 0.

Tip  Experiment with different coefficients and the Kernel Size to get the results you want.
