I would be grateful to receive some example of usage of builtin function 'regionprops'

Dear MatLab Experts,

I would greatly appreciate your help at understanding how to use the output of builtin function 'regionprops'

My understanding is that it would output a scalar value for each selected property for each connected component.

I have a set of closed curves that I convert to binary masks. The attached zipped archive contains some of such curves.

Each closed curve is descrived by the ordered coordinates in a text file.

Each curve contain only one connected component.

However, when i call 'regionprops' I get a vector of values for each feature I selected.

For instance, how can I have 255 'Area' values and 255 centroid coordinate pairs?

I have attached my script 'Get-Collimator_Features.m' that calls builtin function 'regionprops'.

How can I reduce a vector to a single scalar value, for instance for the Area, etc...?

Some correct usage examples of 'regionprops' would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

maura

The code you've attached returns an error. Since the only important line is,

   stats = regionprops('table',BW,'Area','FilledArea','ConvexArea','Centroid',...
                                  'Circularity','Eccentricity','EquivDiameter',...
                                  'MaxFeretProperties','MinFeretProperties','Orientation');

it would be better/simpler if you just attach BW in a .mat file so that we can test just that specific line of code.

Because I don't have R2019b, I had to run a somewhat modified version of the code

S=load('BWCurve.mat','CBW');
BW=S.CBW;
% Get Area Features 
   stats = regionprops('table',BW,'Area','FilledArea','ConvexArea','Centroid',...
                                  'Eccentricity','EquivDiameter',...
                                  'Orientation');

The result is

stats =

  1×7 table

       Area           Centroid        Eccentricity    Orientation    ConvexArea    FilledArea    EquivDiameter
    __________    ________________    ____________    ___________    __________    __________    _____________

    6.6497e+05    558.43    433.81      0.68914         -3.9677      1.0211e+06    1.0211e+06       920.15   

This looks fine to me. I'm not sure what "vectors" you are referring to. Nevertheless, if you want to extract the 'Area" data from the table and put it in a separate numeric variable, you would do

    Area=stats{:,'Area'}

You are right. I input the wrong variable to 'regionprops'.

After fixing my error I get the same answer as you did.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Maura
