Hi,

I am working with a thing flexible structure, I have got images from experiments. I want to know how I can trace an edge and get its mpvement for example in terms of displacement and velocity verses time?

Image is attached.

Thanks

Tayyaba

yes，sir，may be upload the image list to detect object and trace the left edge as target

Do you have a method to locate the edge already? That would be the first step. Maybe try hough() or houghlines() if you don't have a method yet.

After that you can get the endpoints and centroid locations. Then make an array where you keep track of those 3 locations from frame to frame. Multiply by a spatial calibration factor to get distances in real world units such as millimeters. Velocity is the change in distance divided by the frame time.

Boundary.fig

Thanks for your reply, I used the following code to generate the boundary. But the biundaries are not clear may be because the image has a lot of small particles. I am also attaching the image of boundary I have attained for the Im1.

grayImage = imread('Im1.bmp');
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(grayImage);
if numberOfColorChannels > 1
    grayImage = rgb2gray(grayImage);
    
end
% Display the image.

mask = grayImage < 38;  %imbinarize(grayImage);
% Display the mask.

imshow(mask, []);
impixelinfo;

impixelinfo;
% Make a circle mask to get rid of corners
% Create a logical image of a circle with specified
% diameter, center, and image size.
% First create the image.
imageSizeX = columns;
imageSizeY = rows;
[columnsInImage, rowsInImage] = meshgrid(1:imageSizeX, 1:imageSizeY);
% Next create the circle in the image.
centerX = columns/2;
centerY = rows/2;
% radius = max(centerX, centerY);
radius = 100;
circlePixels = (rowsInImage - centerY).^2 ...
    + (columnsInImage - centerX).^2 <= radius.^2;
mask = mask & circlePixels;
% Fill interior holes.
mask = imfill(mask, 'holes');
props = regionprops(mask, 'Area');
allAreas = sort([props.Area], 'ascend')
mask = bwareaopen(mask,100);

imshow(mask, []);

    x = thisBoundary(:, 2);
    y = thisBoundary(:, 1);

But there are small noise particles all over. You don't need a mask of that shape to get rid of them. You can use bwareafilt() and not use any mask. I still think my way is better but you're free to ignore it and use your own way.

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed reply.

I tried this with a litle bit change as I get error for 'imnImfilt' image filering and also with xline and yline. The error states:

"Undefined function or variable 'imnImfilt' and 'xline' or 'yline'. "

Also I tried to display the boundaries but unfortunately it did not display that. May be there is an error in the last part of the code.Moreover, the boundary needed is attached, which I have to trace over the images to get its velocity verses time.

The code is as follows:

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.

I tried some other way.But I am not getting the right boundary and also red spots.

Could you please suggest how to get rid of those spots? when I use the image filtering option and the mask for spots, as you suggested earlier. Unfortunately it gives me errors.

Thanks
