Fill¶

Identifies objects and fills objects that are less than specified size

fill(img, mask, size, device, debug=None)

returns device, filled image

• Parameters:
  • img - binary image object. This image will be returned after filling.
  • mask - binary image object. This image will be used to identify image objects (contours).
  • size - minimum object area size in pixels (integer), smaller objects will be filled
  • device - Counter for image processing steps
  • debug- None, "print", or "plot". Print = save to file, Plot = print to screen. Default = None
• Context:
  • Used to reduce image noise
• Example use:
  • Use In VIS Tutorial
  • Use In PSII Tutorial


from plantcv import plantcv as pcv

# Apply fill to a binary image that has had a median blur applied.
# Image mask is the same binary image with median blur.

device, binary_img = pcv.median_blur(img, 5, device, debug="print")
device, mask = pcv.median_blur(img, 5, device, debug="print")

device, fill_image = pcv.fill(binary_img, mask, 200, device, debug="print")
