Curve fitting for 2d Array
Show older comments
Hi,
I have to find slope by using curve fitting in this figure. There are 7 wavefronts in this image. What method should I apply? I have tried different techniques like I manually selected 2 points and find slope but that is not appropriate way. I have to utilize all the data points and fit curve to all 7 wavefronts. Sample image is attached here

If (x,y) are the points of your curve...
m = gradient(y)./gradient(x) ; % diff(y)./diff(x)

In the plot you have a legend, fitted curve. What's that?

Wavefront has 2D data right? On this use polyfit. Read about polyfit.

Yes, for the pixel values the positions are (x,y). You need to seek those positions and fit a curve.

yes,sir,may be choose the target line by color and fit them,such as
im = imread('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/896015/image.png');
jm = rgb2hsv(im);
v = mat2gray(jm(:,:,3));
bw = ~im2bw(v,0.9);
bw2 = imopen(bw, strel('line', 20, 0));
bw3 = logical(bw-bw2);
bw3 = imopen(imclose(bw3, strel('disk', 5)), strel('square', 3));
bw3 = bwareafilt(bw3, 2);
[r,c] = find(bw3);
p = polyfit(c,r,3);
xc = linspace(min(c),max(c));
yc = polyval(p,xc);
figure; imshow(im)
hold on; plot(xc,yc,'r--','LineWidth',2);
