if we have some objects in a binary image how can remove the object that has the maximum distance from center of image? for example if this is my image:

how can I obtain this image as result:

thanks

By define, I meant tell us what you mean. Is the distance of the object to the centre

the distance from the object centroid to the centre?
the distance from the furthest point of the object to the centre?
the distance from the closest point of the object to the centre?
something else?

the distance from the closest point of the object to the centre? I mean this.

remove the object that the closest point of the object to center is maximum...

how can I obtain this image as result:

I don't recommend that you use distance as a criterion. It would work, but for the object you've shown, it seems quicker and easier to use solidity,

      S=regionprops(Image,'Solidity','PixelIdxList');
      [~,idx]=min([S.Solidity]);
      Image(S(idx).PixelIdxList)=0;

This is also shift-invariant, whereas the distance criterion is not.

The solidity approach should get rid of that C-shaped blob as long as that thing is always going to be more C-shaped or tortuous than the two central blobs. Can we count on that? What are these things anyway? It looks like lungs in a body in a CT image and for some reason the part of the body (skin and outer fat layer) or a partial air space got segmented along with the lungs.

Is that what's happening? sara, can you show the original gray scale image that gave rise to this binary image? This seems like it might be a case of a person saying "I need to do X" but not telling you that you they really want Z and it we only knew Z we could say "You'd be better off using approach Y than approach X like you asked for.

If you know the "bad blob" is always at the top, you can also ask regionprops for the bounding box and eliminate the blob with the highest Ytop value. There are also lots of other methods depending on what we can assume. If you had a bunch of blobs with random shapes (spots/circles, asterisks, C-shapes, cigar shapes, rings, etc.) at random locations would you still use the "farthest min distance from center of image" algorithm, or solidity algorithm? Maybe not. This could be a case where someone gives a specific image and then we/someone solves it and then comes along later and says "But your algorithm didn't work for this other image" - that happens all the time and it's because the original poster didn't give the range of images that they might expect to encounter.

thanks Matt and Image Analyst

yes Image Analyst you are right I didnt think about all the images that are not similar to each other.... it is a CT lung image I use activecontour and imfill and imclose method and the other methods for obtain this binary image.. after that I use BlobsDemo.m for remove the blob that are not lung but when I use BlobsDemo.m with 2 largest blob 'you help me before and post this code for me' ...but sometimes right lung remove because it is smaller than the top object ... I thought that if I use distance method maybe I can remove the object that is on the top of the image.. I have a lot of images that are not similar to each other ...my code should be fast running ...my code has a good answer for some images but for some images I have a problem like this...

for this my original image is like this:

I can get true binary image with activecontour for this special exam but my code should work for the other exam...I hope that I could explaine my question...

Can you explain me how can I use regionprops for the bounding box and eliminate the blob with the highest Ytop value??? thanks a lot

sara 2014-10-18

编辑：sara 2014-10-18

yes I fill this vertically...because 2 lung connect to each other and we don't want this.

Thanks dear Image Analyst I will try this and come back...

Using distance as the criterion,

    L=bwlabel(Image);
    [M,N]=size(Image);
    [X,Y]=ndgrid((1:M)-M/2-.5,(1:N)-N/2-.5);
    distmask=(X.^2+Y.^2).*Image;
    idx=L>0;
    Lmin=accumarray(L(idx),distmask(idx),[],@min);
    [~,idx]=max(Lmin);
    Image(L==idx)=0;

thanks Matt

for first code I get a black screen and when I use your second code I have this error

Error using .* Integers can only be combined with integers of the same class, or scalar doubles.

and when I try to change this my result is same as my input...

can you help me why I have this error... I'm confused...

Matt J 2014-10-17

The error message would have given you the line number of the error. You should be able to use whos() or the workspace browser to inspect the variables used in that line and see which are integers, which are doubles, etc...

sara: Try the attached code (below the image in blue). I basically threshold, do a morphological opening to break away the thin table line, then extract the biggest blob. A snippet:

% Get the binaryImage
binaryImage = grayImage > 135;
% Erode to break away the table from the body
binaryImage = imopen(binaryImage, [1;1;1]);
biggestBlob = ExtractNLargestBlobs(binaryImage, numberToExtract);

It gives the image below:

Thanks ImageAnalyst and Matt

I think if I remove the top object from my binaryImage maybe my problem solve faster.Dear Matt you said it is easy but I could not write the code for this...so I post this question...when I find the best answer I will come back to this discussion...

Dear ImageAnalyst sometimes the left lung is like a seprated shape and seems to 2 seprate object so all the time biggestblob dose not work... thanks for all of your guidance

thanks ImageAnalyst. I think I could not explain my question right.. I show this image :

...if I extract 3 biggest blob left lung damage and if I use imfiil with a big strel : the lesion connect to my lungs...I can not use actvecontour with a high eteration or something like this in perviouse steps because speed of program is important...I hope I could explain my problem ...thank you for all of your helpful guidance.

dear image analyst

if we have some objects in an image is there any way to extract 2 objects that are neaerest to each other?? for example

after that I want to have this result:

Is there any way?? thanks

Sara, regarding your comment about finding the closest pair of blobs...

"Close" has several definitions. See Hausdorf distance. But let's just assume you want the pair that has the lowest distance between the centroids. Just get the centroids using regionprops() into two arrays centroidx and centroidy. Then calculate the distances, something like

distances = zeros(numberOfBlobs, numberOfBlobs);
for b1 = 1 : numberOfBlobs
  for b2 = b1 : numberOfBlobs
    distances(b1,b2) = sqrt((centroidx(b1)-centroidx(b2))^2+(centroidy(b1)-centroid(b2))^2);
  end
end

Then find the min pair

[blob1, blob2] = find(distances == min(distances(:)));

Then use ismember() to extract those two blobs:

binaryImage = ismember(labeledImage, [blob1, blob2]) > 0;

or something like that. That's just off the top of my head and may need editing.

If this answers your question, can you "Accept" my answer?

'hi image analyst..... 'how can I calculate the distance of each entroid from upper border line of image so that I can remove the nearest objects(centroids)) from the above image. thanks

Get the bounding box

props = regionprops(binaryImage, 'BoundingBox');
allBB = vertcat(props.BoundingBox);
% Find just top lines alone.
topLines = allBB(:, 2); % Extract column 2.
% Find out which ones are farther away than some threshold.
keepers = topLines > someLineNumber; % Whatever you want, for example 40.
% Extract out those into a new binary image.
newBinaryImage = ismember(binaryImage, find(keepers));

thanks ImageAnalyst

I use this code:

    if true
     I =input('enter an image','s');
I=imread(I);
Ibw = im2bw(I);
Ibw = imfill(Ibw,'holes');
Ilabel = logical(Ibw);
stat = regionprops(Ilabel,'centroid');
imshow(I); hold on;
for x = 1: numel(stat)
    plot(stat(x).Centroid(1),stat(x).Centroid(2),'ro');
end

for b1 = 1 : numel(stat)

for b2 = b1 : numel(stat)

distances(b1,b2) = sqrt((stat(b1).Centroid(1)-stat(b2).Centroid(1))^2+(stat(b1).Centroid(2)-stat(b2).Centroid(2))^2)

   end
end

tmp = distances; tmp(tmp == 0) = Inf; % as above

[colminvals, colminrows] = min(tmp); % find min in each column

[minVal, minCol] = min(colminvals) % find overall min and its column

 [blob1, blob2] = find(distances == minVal)

binaryImage = ismember(Ilabel, [blob1, blob2]) > 0;

figure,imshow(binaryImage);

end

but I could not get the answer...and result is like input can you help me??
