Hi everyone, I'm still wondering what the parameters in the matrix can mean. Could someone help me, I couldn't find any video that explains it properly to me.
The matrix represents an Affine transformation which can be used to e.g. translate or rotate an image.

I have an binary image as shown below.
As can be seen in the image there is an edge which looks like an arc of an ellipse, as illustrated below and I manually marked it as red. These red pixels should be found by the code.
My goal is to fit an ellipse to the pixels that are colored in red in the above picture. This fitted ellipse is shown in below.
Could someone kindly tell me how I can get the pixels that are marked as red in the second image using MATLAB? I will then use them for an elliptical fitting.
The problem you are describing is extremely non-trivial. This article describes some of the existing methods. It is nice because it is a survey that will point you to other articles.
As you may have guessed, not having both ends of the ellipse to work with makes things infinitely more complex. If that were not the case, you could use the Hough transform. There is already a script available on the mathworks site do do this.
All that being said, I recommend Googling "ellipse detection". It may not help directly with the MATLAB implementation, but will at least give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem you are trying to solve.
I have one 2D CT image and I want to convert it to 3D image using Markov Random Field. There are several papers in the literature in which this technique was used based on 3 2D orthogonal images. However, I can't find a simple and clear resource that explains the conversion process using MRF in clear steps. Here are some papers I found,

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1971113/
https://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/papers/efros-iccv99.pdf
What I have understood is that the image is converted into a graph of connected pixels, and the properties of a pixel depend on the properties of its adjacent ones. Put it was not really clear how the process takes place. Also, the cost minimization process was confusing to me what parameters are we trying to minimize? And how this will lead to constructing a 3D image from the 3 2D orthogonal ones?
Can anyone please explain to me how the conversion algorithm works using MRF in steps?
Thank You
I'am interested in finding a way to plot an HSV image in Matlab. I know i can do it by converting it into RGB first but I want to figure out whether there is a direct way. Thanks.
Ther is the hsv2rgb function to convert an hsv image to rgb, in case you were about to convert the values yourself.
Since monitors work with rgb the image has to be converted at some place before display, so i think it doesn't really matter when this takes place. I don't know of any more direct matlab approach than using hsv2rgb and then show the image and i do not think there is one. (of course you could put those two into a user defined script if that helps making code more readable).
I am trying to implement this paper
Patch based Image warping for Content aware Retargeting
I am half way through in its implementation in matlab, when I came across the warping using quad mesh. The section III.c suggests me to formulate the image as a quad mesh with vertices, edges and quad faces. I have searched, but did not get the concrete result as to how to do this in matlab. Can you please tell me how to represent image as a quad mesh in matlab? Thanks in advance.
Update :
Pics from the paper stating the requirements better. Can you also please see the paper and tell me if am looking for the right thing?
please help with Matlab beginner challenge
i need to create an image with few geometrical objects (circles,
ellipses) and then to apply some projective transforms
my problem is that i cant understand how to actually "draw" on image
image is AFAIU generally defined as [X;Y;3] matrix,
functions as SCIRCLE1 can compute/return collection of points
representing circle, but the problem is that points are not discrete ,
coordinates are real numbers and not pixels
how can i recompute the scircle output to be valid in image
coordinates system ? i.e. how can i "pixelize" it?
thanks for your attention, i really missing some basic concept and
will appreciate your help

well, below is an answer i received on Matlab newsgroups
BOTTOM LINE-no built-in way in Matlab
======================================
'getframe' can be used to merge axes even though it is more commonly used to create movie frames.
MATLAB is really weak in this area. There are some primitive
functions for drawing into the overlay (such as rectangle() if you
want to draw a circle, and line() if you want to draw a line) but no
real way that I know of to draw right into the underlying image. So
you have to use "tricks" such as getframe and then apply logical
operations. And you have to be careful with that since I think when
it gives you the rasterized version of the overlay it might be the
size of the image on the screen, not the true original matrix size of
the underlying image (I'd have to recheck this).

I found this example which give you a easy way to put simple geometrical object onto pictures.
Read the input image.
I = imread('cameraman.tif');
Define the rectangle dimensions as [x y width height].
rectangle = int32([10 10 30 30]);
Draw the rectangle and display the result.
J = step(shapeInserter, I, rectangle);
imshow(J);
see this link
by the way..
I didn't get you point about points not being discrete and images being a matrix. The way I see it. It much the same. you could try to explain it more in depth ?
The insertShape function in the Computer Vision System Toolbox is what you need. It lets you draw rectangles, circles, and polygons into the image.
There is also insertText, insertMarker, and insertObjectAnnotation.
