matlab auto,MATLAB Auto Crop

问题

I am trying to automatically crop the image below to a bounding box. The background will always be the same colour. I have tried the answers at

Find the edges of image and crop it in MATLAB

and various applications and examples on Mathworks' file exchange but I get stuck at getting a proper boundingbox.

I was thinking to convert the image to black and white, converting it to binary and removing everything that's closer to white than black, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

回答1:

Following the answer of Shai, I present a way to circumvent regionprops (image processing toolbox) just based on find on the black-white image.

% load

img = im2double(imread('http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZuiEt.jpg'));

% black-white image by threshold on check how far each pixel from "white"

bw = sum((1-img).^2, 3) > .5;

% show bw image

figure; imshow(bw); title('bw image');

% get bounding box (first row, first column, number rows, number columns)

[row, col] = find(bw);

bounding_box = [min(row), min(col), max(row) - min(row) + 1, max(col) - min(col) + 1];

% display with rectangle

rect = bounding_box([2,1,4,3]); % rectangle wants x,y,w,h we have rows, columns, ... need to convert

figure; imshow(img); hold on; rectangle('Position', rect);

Here's a nice way

img = im2double(imread('http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZuiEt.jpg')); % read image and convert it to double in range [0..1]

b = sum( (1-img).^2, 3 ); % check how far each pixel from "white"

% display

figure; imshow( b > .5 ); title('non background pixels');

% use regionprops to get the bounding box

st = regionprops( double( b > .5 ), 'BoundingBox' ); % convert to double to avoid bwlabel of logical input

rect = st.BoundingBox; % get the bounding box

% display

figure; imshow( img );

hold on; rectangle('Position', rect );

Following Jak's request, here's the second line explained

after converting img to double type (using im2double), the image is stored in memory as h-by-w-by-3 matrix of type double. Each pixel has 3 values between 0 and 1 (not 255!), representing its RGB values 0 being dark and 1 being bright.

Thus (1-img).^2 checks, for each pixel and each channel (RGB) how far it is from 1 - bright. The darker the pixel - the larger this distance.

Next, we sum the distance per channel to a single value per pixel using sum( . ,3 ) command leaving us with h-by-w 2D matrix of distances of each pixels from white.

Finally, assuming background is bright white we select all pixels that are significantly far from birght b > .5. This threshold is not perfect, but it captures well the boundary of the object.

to crop an image

first create boundry box where you want to crop.

crp = imcrop(original_image_name,boundry_box);

I have done this in my assignment. This really works!!!!!!
