Dilate a mask with a kernel of a given shape and size.

Parameters:

  • kernel_shape – the shape of the kernel, either ‘circle’ or ‘square’

  • kernel_size – the size of the kernel

  • inplace – whether to perform the operation in place or to return a new object

Returns:

The RLEMask object representing the dilated mask (self if inplace=True)

Return type:

RLEMask

Examples

Dilate with a 5x5 square kernel:

.dilate(kernel_shape='square', kernel_size=5) ==
