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 eroded mask (self if inplace=True)

Return type:

RLEMask

Examples

Erode with a circular kernel of size 5:
