Erode Dilate

Brief Description

Useful to shrink or extend the edges of a matte. Autograph offers 3 different algorithms which are useful in different scenarios;;

- *Morphological*: Use a rectangular structuring element of specified size to perform a dilatation (if size > 0) or erosion (if size < 0)
- *Blur Remap*: Blur the image and then remap the values of the result, performing an operation that looks like a blur or dilatation
- *Power-Weighted Blur*: Uses a power-weighted filter to erode or dilate the image, which gives a smoother result than other approaches.

Controls

Parameter / Script Name Type Default Function
Enabled / enabled Boolean On
Red / process_red Boolean On Enable the red channel in output. Otherwise if there's a source the content of the main source is returned instead, else 0
Green / process_green Boolean On Enable the green channel in output. Otherwise if there's a source the content of the main source is returned instead, else 0
Blue / process_blue Boolean On Enable the blue channel in output. Otherwise if there's a source the content of the main source is returned instead, else 0
Alpha / process_alpha Boolean On Enable the alpha channel in output. Otherwise if there's a source the content of the main source is returned instead, else 0
