Finding a largest rectangular object in binary image with minimum length and width
显示 更早的评论
How to find a largest rectangular object in binary image. Any connected object should be ignored. The object should have a minimum length of 50 pixels and minimum width of 4 pixels. The examples images are attached.
Thanks

Not sure I understand. Each of the yellow shapes can be considered as a collection of many touching rectangles. And a huge number of them since they can be constructed in many different ways using differently shaped and sized rectangles. So should they all be ignored? You'd have nothing left.

Why do you say some of them have no rectangle in them.
In general to find the largest blob you can do
largestBlob = bwareafilt(binaryImage, 1);
but that works on all blobs, regardless if they're perfectly rectangular.

According to your definition, how many rectangles are in each image and where are they? Because I see either no rectangle at all, or a shape made up of many, many rectangles. Can you outline their bounding boxes in red or green or something so I can see where they are? Also, can you attach each image individually with the paper clip icon?

The code I posted in my Answer searches for rectangles and throws away the ones that are too small, and finds the largest of what remains.
The remaining question is whether you did intend "width" to refer to horizontal extent, or if instead you are referring to "length" as the longer of (horizontal extent, vertical extent) and "width" as the smaller of the two ?

When you indicated earlier that "Any connected object should be ignored" my understanding was that if you had rectangles that were connected to any other shape, that the entire blob should be ignored . That is why I coded regionprops to compare the convex area to the image area: those two values are only equal for blobs that are rectangles.

P = regionprops(YourBinaryImage, 'Area', 'ConvexArea', 'BoundingBox');
PA = vertcat(P.Area);
PCA = vertcat(P.ConvexArea);
PBB = vertcat(P.BoundingBox);
PW = PBB(:,3);
PH = PBB(:,4);
mask = PA == PCA & PH >= 50 & PW >= 4;
selected_P = P(mask);
[largest_object_area, idx] = max([selected_P.Area]);
largest_BB = selected_P(idx).BoundingBox;
Note that here I am interpreting "width" as horizontal extent, and then by default that means "length" in your question must refer to vertical extent.
