Hi,

I am creating an image based on laser distance data (z) that I am collecting using imagesc(x,y,z). This gives me a heatmap/surface map of my object.

How can I automatically highlight the peaks/dents in this map or areas where z is higher/lower than a user defined threshold? I would like to create a circle around that area that has values higher or lower than a threshold or highlight those areas in any other way.

Thanks!

yes，sir，may be upload your data to do some analysis

Imagine you have the following data set:

Z = peaks;

x = linspace(0,2*pi);

y = linspace(0,2*pi);

figure

imagesc(x,y,Z)

Now I want the user to set a threshold value for Z interactively and create contour lines for everything either lower or higher than what the user has set as a threshold.

Thanks.

hello

a very simple code that combines surf and contour (will not draw a circle but maybe it's still a valuable solution)

[X,Y,Z] = peaks(100);
figure(1),hold on
s = surf(X,Y,Z,'Facealpha',0.75,'Edgecolor','none');
view(2);
colorbar('vert');
threshold = 0.3*max(Z,[],'all');
[c,h] = contour(X,Y,Z,[threshold threshold],'-k','Linewidth',5);
hold off

Thanks both to you for your input! Both solutions are definitely legitmate since I was not very clear in my question. In fact, its totally fine for all "cirles" or contours drawn to be on the same level.

There are 3 more things I would like to add:

How can I make this more user interactive? I want a simple interface where the user sets the Z threshold value, clicks on a button e.g. "Ok" and it then creates these contours around those areas that are either lower or higher than the set Z threshold. The user can then reset, set another value and the contours (circles) will be drawn again for another input. Actually I am interested in lower peaks, not the high peaks.
I want to create a list for the X and Y center mass points (maybe also get the corresponding Z value) for those contours drawn (depending on the Z threshold value that was set by the user).
This goes back to item 1.) additionally to the Z threshold value I would like to have a setting for width and length. A contour should be drawn for all blobs that fulfill the settings made by the user for Z, width (x) and length (y). This is more a nice to have item.

Any further support would be greatly appreciated!!

Use App Designer to make a GUI. I'm sure there is a tutorial on that somewhere.

Yes, will do. Thanks!

Use imregionalmax():

Z = mat2gray(peaks);

x = linspace(0,2*pi);

y = linspace(0,2*pi);

subplot(2, 2, 1);

imagesc(x,y,Z)

axis('on', 'image')

% get regional max:

peaks = imregionalmax(Z);

subplot(2, 2, 2);

imshow(peaks, []);

% Overlay it on the original

rgbImage = imoverlay(Z, peaks, 'r');

subplot(2, 2, 3);

imshow(rgbImage);

Now that you have the locations, you can get the values at those locations and set up thresholded images, one for each peak. Then use bwboundaries() to get all the contours and use inpolygon to figure out which contours contain each point. Not hard at all, so I imagine you can do that part yourself, right? Here's my version:

% Initialization steps.
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.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;
Z = mat2gray(peaks);
x = linspace(0,2*pi);
y = linspace(0,2*pi);
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imagesc(x,y,Z)
impixelinfo;
axis('on', 'image')
% get regional max:
peaks = imregionalmax(Z);
% Some may have flat tops, so get down to a single point on each peak.
peaks = bwulterode(peaks);
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(peaks, []);
% Overlay it on the original
rgbImage = imoverlay(Z, peaks, 'r');
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(rgbImage);
impixelinfo;
% Get values of the peaks.
values = unique(Z(peaks))
% Get locations of the peaks.
[yp, xp] = find(peaks)
% Get contours
deltaz = 0.05;
subplot(2, 2, 4);
imshow(peaks, []);
hold on;
for k = 1 : length(values)
    mask = Z > (values(k) - deltaz);
    % 		imshow(mask);
    boundaries = bwboundaries(mask);
    thisx = xp(k);
    thisy = yp(k);
    plot(thisx, thisy, 'r+', 'MarkerSize', 20)
    if ~isempty(boundaries)
        for k2 = 1 : length(boundaries)
            thisBoundary = boundaries{k2};
            x = thisBoundary(:, 2);
            y = thisBoundary(:, 1);
            pointIsInside = inpolygon(thisx, thisy, x, y);
            if pointIsInside
                plot(x, y, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
            end
        end
    end
end

yes，sir，it is great idea，use imregionalmax to get region max and clear boarder，may be use to watermark segment
