Restrict regionprops to only fit ellipses within binary objects?
显示 更早的评论
I am using regionprops to extract image properties of a binary image. I have a lot of uniquely shaped regions, which is why regionprops is struggling to fit ellipses to the white regions. How do I restrict regionprops to only fit ellipses within the white regions (1s) and not include any of the blue region (0s)? I have attached a picture of the results I get from regionprops for my binary image.

This question, "How do I restrict regionprops to only fit ellipses within the white regions (1s) and not include any of the blue region (0s)" makes no sense. regionprops only uses the (foreground) white pixels when fitting ellipses, specifically, it uses the position of the pixels. What other fit would you expect in your example image?
In any case, regionprops does what it does, if you're not happy with that, you'll have to implement your own fit.

So, you want the largest inscribed ellipse within a likely non-convex polygon? As far as I know, even for a circle inscribed in a convex polygon, it's not trivial so what you're asking is probably very difficult. On the other hand, it's really not my area of expertise.

Whats your plan once you fittet the ellipses in a better way? If you want to extract the objects you could use the convex hull and set the area to the pixel edges. With that you might get less background into your shape, but background within a object would still be there.

Well, regionprops gives you the centroids and the size of objects, so why not simply use the features from regionprops to get those? You dont need the ellipses for that

The 'Area' property returned by regionprop never includes background pixels. It is just the count of foreground pixels. Similarly, the 'Centroid' is the exact centroid of the foreground pixels according to the mathematical definition of the centroid. For a non-convex shape, the centroid may fall outside the shape.
The documentation of regionprops explains clearly how each property is calculated and if in doubt you can always look at the implementation since it's just a standard m file.
