How to extract particular pixel values from an image?

11 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I'm doing project on image processing, and in one of my module i need to extract the particular bunch of the pixels.I know the values of that pixel but i'm not getting how exactly to extract that values. so please help me to get out of this!

What do you mean by "extract" in this case?
Are the pixels RGB or grayscale?

sir, here extract means retrieval of those pixels, i mean only "1". and its a grayscale image and i converted it into binary image. how can i do this, please guide me!

[PixelRows, PixelColumns] = find( YourImage(:,:,1) == RedValue & YourImage(:,:,2) == GreenValue & YourImage(:,:,3) == BlueVaue );

Dear Nikhil, Are you sure those are the images or they are just for example??...if so, please share the original image you are working on through flickr.com or picasa, tiny pic or any other photo sharing site...
Also, I feel that the labeling of image will be helpful for you..try image labeling once you label the regions of your image, it will be relatively easy to extract them...try once this might be helpful...

Kris Sir, which link i had mentioned above that is database link, i mean the same database using for my project. and for further work i need to delete/remove the background but i got stuck here only.
how can i do this??

You say
  1. You have a binary image (which means value of 0 and 1)
  2. You know the values in the particular bunch (either 0, 1, or both of course)
  3. You need to extract their values (which will again be either 0 or 1 or both)
So the question remains,
  1. Do you know the locations of the "particular bunch" of pixels?
  2. If you already know their values then what exactly does it mean that you need to extract their values? You mean you want a vector that is the length of the "particular bunch" and has the 0 or 1 values in the vector? Like your image is 1 megapixel but you want a vector of pixel values from a small 1000 pixel chunk in the image?

What is the name of your black-and-white image array?

If I am having a color image and I want to find the total no of pixels in a specific range of pixel values then what should I do????and how to find out the range of pixel values in a certain region of an image???

You can take the histogram of each channel:
% Extract the individual red, green, and blue color channels.
redChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 1);
greenChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 2);
blueChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 3);
[countsR, edgesR] = imhist(redChannel);
[countsG, edgesG] = imhist(greenChannel);
[countsB, edgesB] = imhist(blueChannel);
To do it with a masked image, put the binary image mask as an index to the images.
% Extract the individual red, green, and blue
% color channels but only in the masked region(s);
[countsR, edgesR] = imhist(redChannel(mask));
[countsG, edgesG] = imhist(greenChannel(mask));
[countsB, edgesB] = imhist(blueChannel(mask));
