why does strel failed in MATLAB Coder

Using MATLAB Coder in 2019b, the following line:

se = strel('line',20,85);

that MATLAB Coder is unable to effectively describe:

1.All inputs must be constant.

2.Function call failed

why is Coder having difficulty in strel?

does matlab coder support strel?

MATLAB Coder does support strel. I tried the following simple example in R2019b and noticed it worked.

% Function foo.m
function y = foo
    se = strel('line',20,85);
    y = numel(se.Neighborhood);
end

% Codegen command in command window
>> codegen foo -report

From the error messages you posted, it looks like your inputs to strel are not constant, which is why codegen is failing. Refer to the section on C/C++ code generation section in the documentation here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/strel.html which states the following:

Usage notes and limitations:

  • strel supports the generation of C code (requires MATLAB® Coder™). For more information, see Code Generation for Image Processing.
  • All input arguments must be compile-time constants.
  • The methods associated with strel objects are not supported in code generation.
  • Arrays of strel objects are not supported.

Example showing imerode based on comment:

% Function foo.m
function y = foo(edgeimg)
    se = strel('line',20,85);
    y = imerode(edgeimg, se.Neighborhood);
end

% Codegen command in command window
% The image must be 2D or 3D according to doc
>> edgeimg = imread('blah.png'); 
>> codegen foo -args edgeimg -report
