For a binary image that contains multiple blobs we must first transform it using connectivity analysis or region labeling. Then we can describe each of the blobs in the scene we first need to transform the image using connectivity analysis. Each of the blobs can then be described in terms of its area, centroid position, […]

If we look at a binary image we can easily see distinct regions, that is, sets of pixels the same color as their neighbours. We call these blobs and they’re an important way of achieving an object rather than pixel view of the scene. We can describe these blobs by their area, centroid position, bounding […]

In a binary image a white blob could contain one or more holes or black blobs. Those block blobs in turn could contain one or more white blobs and so on. Any blob that is surrounded by another blob, of the opposite color, is considered to be the child of the surrounding blob. This gives […]

We use MATLAB and some Toolbox functions to find tomatoes on a bush. We convert the color image to chromaticity coordinates, select the pixels that belong to the tomatoes and the perform blob analysis to find the location of the tomatoes.

Another non-linear operation on the pixels in the box around the input pixel is to test whether they match a reference shape. This is a very powerful and useful approach to cleaning up noisy binary images known as mathematical morphology and objects in the image are treated according to their compatibility with a structuring element.

We use MATLAB and some Toolbox functions to create a robot controller that moves a camera so the image matches what we want it to look like. We call this an image-based visual servoing system.

A critical part of a visual servoing system is establishing correspondence between points in the scene observed by the camera, and points in our desired image of the scene.

The relationship between world coordinates, image coordinates and camera spatial velocity is elegantly summed up by a single matrix equation that involves what we call the image Jacobian.

Diadic operations involve two images of the same size and result in another image. For example adding, subtracting or masking images. As a realistic application we look at green screening to superimpose an object into an arbitrary image.

If we want to process images the first thing we need to do is to read an image into MATLAB as a variable in the workspace. What kind of variable is an image? How can we see the image inside a variable? How do we refer to to individual pixels within an image.
