Boundary Extraction in MATLAB

Boundary Extraction in MATLAB

Let A be an Image matrix and B be a structuring element.

Formula for Boundary Extraction:

Steps to be followed:

·         Convert the image into binary image.

·         Perform Erosion:
                Erode binary image A by structuring element B. (i.e)

                     

               

·         Subtraction:
              Subtract the binary image A from the Eroded image.(i.e)

             

MATLAB CODE:

A=imread('banana.jpg'); 

C=rgb2gray(A);

C(C<225)=0;

s=strel('disk',4,0);%Structuring element

D=~im2bw(C);%binary Image

F=imerode(D,s);%Erode the image by structuring element



figure,imshow(A);title('Original Image');

figure,imshow(D);title('Binary Image');

%Difference between binary image and Eroded image

figure,imshow(D-F);title('Boundary extracted Image');

Example 2:

A=imread('nutsbolts.tif');

s=strel('disk',2,0);

F=imerode(A,s);



figure,

subplot(2,1,1);

imshow(A);title('Binary Image');

subplot(2,1,2);

imshow(A-F);title('Boundary extracted Image');
