xrspatial.morphology.morph_dilate(agg, kernel=None, boundary='nan', name='dilate')[source]#

Apply morphological dilation (local maximum) to a 2D raster.

Each output cell receives the maximum value found within the structuring element footprint centred on that cell.

Parameters:

  • agg (xarray.DataArray) – 2D raster of numeric values.

  • kernel (numpy.ndarray or None) – 2D structuring element with odd dimensions. Non-zero entries mark the footprint. Defaults to a 3x3 square.

  • boundary (str, default 'nan') – Edge handling: 'nan', 'nearest', 'reflect', or 'wrap'.

  • name (str, default 'dilate') – Name for the output DataArray.

Returns:

Dilated raster.

Return type:

xarray.DataArray

Examples

>>> from xrspatial.morphology import morph_dilate
>>> dilated = morph_dilate(raster, kernel=np.ones((5, 5), dtype=np.uint8))
