gray_tophat — 2D morphology op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "gray_tophat", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: gray_tophat (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

gray_tophat: 入力 → 出力

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

White top-hat (original image minus opening). It extracts only small structures (spots, thin lines) that are brighter than their surroundings. Since the result is returned normalized via `_norm, it represents relative prominence rather than absolute brightness. Equivalent to HALCON's gray_tophat` (Perform a gray value top hat transformation on an image.).

`a が矩形構造要素のサイズを {3,5,7,9} で振る。b` は未使用。
