RAJUKUMAR:
See my demo for how to draw an ROI and measure it:
% Demo to have the user freehand draw an irregular shape over a gray scale image.
% Then it creates new images:
% (1) where the drawn region is all white inside the region and untouched outside the region,
% (2) where the drawn region is all black inside the region and untouched outside the region,
% (3) where the drawn region is untouched inside the region and all black outside the region.
% It also (4) calculates the mean intensity value of the image within that shape,
% (5) calculates the perimeter, centroid, and center of mass (weighted centroid), and
% (6) crops the drawn region to a new, smaller separate image.
% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
if(~isdeployed)
cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
