How can I draw the rectangle including the surfPoints object on the image? - matlab

Question

I have a grayscale image I want to extract the regions of interest using detectSURFFeatures(). Using this function I get a surfPoints object.
by displaying this object on the image I get circles as regions of interest.
For my case I want the rectangular areas encompassing these circles.
To be more clear i have a image 1:
I want to extract Region of Interest (ROI) using : detectSURFFeatures(), we obtain the image
if you can see we have circular region, and for my case i want the rectangular ROI that contains the circular region :

Answer 1

It looks like the radius is fully determined by the points.Scale parameter.
% Detection of the SURF features:
I = imread('cameraman.tif');
points = detectSURFFeatures(I);
imshow(I); hold on;
% Select and plot the 10 strongest features
p = points.selectStrongest(10)
plot(p);
% Here we add the bounding box around the circle.
c = 6; % Correction factor for the radius
for ii = 1:10
x = p.Location(ii,1); % x coordinate of the circle's center
y = p.Location(ii,2); % y coordinate of the circle's center
r = p.Scale(ii); % Scale parameter
rectangle('Position',[x-r*c y-r*c 2*r*c 2*r*c],'EdgeColor','r')
end
And we obtain the following result:
In this example the correction factor for the radius is 6. I guess that this value correspond to half of the default Scale propertie's value of a SURFPoints object (which is 12.0). But since there is no information about that in the documentation, I can be wrong. And be carreful, the scale parameter of each ROI is not the same thing as the scale propertie of a SURFPoints object.
