A straightforward approach to do geometric image transformations using MATLAB is to take advantage of the imtransform function available. First the image is supposed to be within a ‘unity’ rectangle and initial transformation conditions are defined accordingly: udata = [0 1]; vdata = [0 1]; fill_color = 128; org_rect = [0 0;1 0;1 1;0 1]; […]

Recently I read an interesting book “The Grand Design” by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. Somewhere at the end of the book there was a reference to the well known game of life by John Conway (1970). Although I knew it was implemented by various researchers and is already available in MATLAB with a demo […]

In a recently posted question @StackOverflow a user asked how to find the maximum Euclidean distance in a binary image produced by Canny edge detection using MATLAB. The original post is here. I report my response here just for archival purposes. Provided that you have a binary edge image, you need to think of white […]

Just a few days ago I run into a very interesting image processing challenge at StackOverflow. The challenge focused on the detection of a christmas tree in an image (see here for more info). Since I had a some free time I though I could give it a try… The rules in this challenge were […]
