[mmlabel] [Up] [mmgrain] Measurements

mmblob
Blob measurements from a labeled image.

Synopsis

function y = mmblob ( fr , measurement , option )

Input

fr Image Gray-scale (uint8 or uint16) image

Labeled image.
measurement String

Choice from 'AREA', 'AREA32', 'CENTROID', or 'BOUNDINGBOX'. The 'AREA32' option is similar to 'AREA' except that it returns an int32 image.
option String

Default: 'image'

Output format: 'image': results as a binary image; 'data': results a column vector of measurements.

Output

y Image Gray-scale (uint8 or uint16) or binary image

Description

Take measurements from the labeled image fr. The measurements are: area, centroid, or bounding rectangle. The parameter option controls the output format: 'IMAGE': the result is an image; 'DATA': the result is a double column vector with the measurement for each blob. The region with label zero is not measured as it is normally the background. The measurement of region with label 1 appears at the first row of the output.
