I am struggling with some algorithm to extract the region from an image which has the maximum change in pixels. I got the following image after preprocessing.
I did following steps of pre-processing
x = imread('test2.jpg');
gray_x = rgb2gray(x);
I = medfilt2(gray_x,[3 3]);
gray_x = I;
%%
canny_x = edge(gray_x,'canny',0.3);
figure,imshow(canny_x);
%%
s = strel('disk',3);
si = imdilate(canny_x,s);
%figure5
figure; imshow(si);
se = imerode(canny_x,s);title('dilation');
%figure6
figure; imshow(se);title('Erodsion');
I = imsubtract(si,se);
%figure7
figure; imshow(I);
Basically what I am struggling for, is to make weapon detection system using Image processing. I want to localize possible area's to be weapon so that I could feed them to my classifier to identify if it is a weapon or not. Any suggestions? Thank you
A possible solution could be:
Find corner points in the image (Harris corner points, etc)
Set value of all the corner points to white while remaining image will be black
Take a rectangular window and traverse it over the whole image
sum all the white pixels in that rectangular window
select that region whose sum is maximum of all regions

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 :
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.
I have a list of coordinates, which are generated from another program, and I have an image.
I'd like to load those coordinates (making circular regions of interest (ROIs) with a diameter of 3 pixels) onto my image, and extract the intensity of those pixels.
I can load/impose the coordinates on to the image by using;
imshow(file);
hold on
scatter(xCoords, yCoords, 'g')
But can not extract the intensity.
Can you guys point me in the right direction?
I am not sure what you mean by a circle with 3 pixels diameter since you are in a square grid (as mentioned by Ander Biguri). But you could use fspecial to create a disk filter and then normalize. Something like this:
r = 1.5; % for diameter = 3
h = fspecial('disk', r);
h = h/h(ceil(r),ceil(r));
You can use it as a mask to get the intensities at the given region of the image.
im = imread(file);
ROI = im(xCoord-1:xCoord+1; yCoord-1:yCoord+1);
I = ROI.*h;
I have a video of moving hose in an experiment and I need to detect certain points in that hose and calculate the amplitude of their movements, I am using the code below and I am able to extract the required point using detectSURFFeatures, the function get many unnecessary points so I am using cuba = ref_pts.selectStrongest(5); to choose only five points, the problem is I can not get a function to put a bounding box about this 5 points and get their pixel values through the video, Kindly advice what functions can be used, thanks :)
clear;
clc;
% Image aquisition from Video and converting into gray scale
vidIn = VideoReader('ItaS.mp4');
%% Load reference image, and compute surf features
ref_img = read(vidIn, 1);
ref_img_gray = rgb2gray(ref_img);
ref_pts = detectSURFFeatures(ref_img_gray);
[ref_features, ref_validPts] = extractFeatures(ref_img_gray, ref_pts);
figure; imshow(ref_img);
hold on; plot(ref_pts.selectStrongest(5));
cuba = ref_pts.selectStrongest(5);
stats1 = round(cuba.Location);
If you want to find the bounding box which covers all the five points you selected: stats1 now contains (x, y) coordinates of the selected 5 points. Find min and max for x and y coordinates. min values of x and y gives you the starting point of the rectangle. Width and height of the bounding box is now the difference of max and min in y and x directions.
If you want to extract the part of the original image inside the bounding box: just copy that part to another variable as you want. Consider the following example.
img2 = img1(y:h, x:w, :)
Here, x and y are the x and y coordinates of the top left corner of the bounding box. w and h are the width and height of the bounding box.
As part of a circle recognition program, I have a background image with a geometrical circle with known coordinates and radius. I want the inside part of the circle filled by an image and the outside left alone. My best idea is some sort of circular mask, but I am not sure this is the best approach. Any suggestions?
X = imread('X.jpg'); % Background image jpg
Y = imread('Y.jpg'); % Filling image jpg
cent = [100,100]; % Center of circle
rad = 20; % Circle radius
% Fill circle ?
...
I have not provided the extended code, due to confidentiality.
I think the hard part was done by whomever authored this: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_create_a_circle.3F
Assumptions:
I'm assuming you're not going to specify points that are out of range of the image (i.e. I'm not adding validation here).
I use the background image to relate the "center" of your circle to the coordinates.
I'm assuming radius is in pixels.
I didn't create a background image with a circle of known radius because I don't think that's necessary to create the filling effect you're looking for (unless I'm missing something).
Code:
X = imread('rdel_x.png'); % Background image jpg (I used a random image but this can be your blank + geometric circle)
Y = imread('rdel_y.png'); % Filling image jpg
cent = [100,150]; % Center of circle
rad = 70; % Circle radius
% make a mesh grid to provide coords for the circle (mask)
% taken from http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_create_a_circle.3F
[columnsInImage rowsInImage] = meshgrid(1:size(X,2), 1:size(X,1));
% circle points in pixels:
circlePixels = (rowsInImage - cent(1)).^2 ...
+ (columnsInImage - cent(2)).^2 <= rad.^2;
circlePixels3d=repmat(circlePixels,[1 1 3]); % turn into 3 channel (assuming X and Y are RGB)
X((circlePixels3d)) = Y((circlePixels3d)); % assign the filling image pixels to the background image for pixels where it's the desired circle
imagesc(X);
axis image off
Result: from left to right, background image, filling image, result from above code.
Edit: you might not even need the background image if everything is encapsulated in your coordinates. e.g. try appending this to the above code...
Z=zeros(size(X),'uint8'); % same size as your background
Z(circlePixels3d) = Y(circlePixels3d);
figure; % new fig
imagesc(Z);
axis image off
As you see, I have shapes and their white boundaries. I want to fill the shapes in white color.
The input is:
I would like to get this output:
Can anybody help me please with this code? it doesn't change the black ellipses to white.
Thanks alot :]]
I = imread('untitled4.bmp');
Ibw = im2bw(I);
CC = bwconncomp(Ibw); %Ibw is my binary image
stats = regionprops(CC,'pixellist');
% pass all over the stats
for i=1:length(stats),
size = length(stats(i).PixelList);
% check only the relevant stats (the black ellipses)
if size >150 && size < 600
% fill the black pixel by white
x = round(mean(stats(i).PixelList(:,2)));
y = round(mean(stats(i).PixelList(:,1)));
Ibw = imfill(Ibw, [x, y]);
end;
end;
imshow(Ibw);
Your code can be improved and simplified as follows. First, negating Ibw and using BWCONNCOMP to find 4-connected components will give you indices for each black region. Second, sorting the connected regions by the number of pixels in them and choosing all but the largest two will give you indices for all the smaller circular regions. Finally, the linear indices of these smaller regions can be collected and used to fill in the regions with white. Here's the code (quite a bit shorter and not requiring any loops):
I = imread('untitled4.bmp');
Ibw = im2bw(I);
CC = bwconncomp(~Ibw, 4);
[~, sortIndex] = sort(cellfun('prodofsize', CC.PixelIdxList));
Ifilled = Ibw;
Ifilled(vertcat(CC.PixelIdxList{sortIndex(1:end-2)})) = true;
imshow(Ifilled);
And here's the resulting image:
If your images are all black&white, and you have the image processing toolkit, then this looks like what you need:
http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/toolbox/images/ref/imfill.html
Something like:
imfill(image, [startX, startY])
where startX, startY is a pixel in the area that you want to fill.
