how to clear the border of matrix?

5 views (last 30 days)
I have a label image matrix
img=
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
1 2 2 2 9 3 3 3 3 3
1 1 9 9 9 9 9 9 3 3
1 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3
1 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 3
1 7 7 7 7 1 1 7 7 3
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
I want to clear the side border and register it and clear the inside matrix with the value is same as side so turn them into 0.
side=
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
1 3
1 3
1 3
1 3
1 3
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
side =(1,2,3)
result=
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 9 9 9 9 9 9 0 0
0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 0
0 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 0
0 7 7 7 7 0 0 7 7 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

It's actually very simple using set operations:
img = [1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
1 2 2 2 9 3 3 3 3 3
1 1 9 9 9 9 9 9 3 3
1 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3
1 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 3
1 7 7 7 7 1 1 7 7 3
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1];
result = img;
result(ismember(result, union(result(:, [1 end]), result([1 end], :)))) = 0
union gives you the unique labels that are part of the vertical and horizontal borders. ismember tells you which labels at what position are parts of that union. You then use the logical vector generated by ismember to set the respective labels to 0.

If you want, you can just set the rows and columns to zero
img = [1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
1 2 2 2 9 3 3 3 3 3
1 1 9 9 9 9 9 9 3 3
1 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3
1 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 3
1 7 7 7 7 1 1 7 7 3
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1];
result = img;
result(1,:)=0;
result(end,:)=0;
result(:,1)=0;
result(:,end)=0

I don't understand any of what you said. But whatever . . . you've accepted Guillaume's answer so I guess your problem is resolved now and that's what counts. Good luck.
