File Information
Description	Demo to illustrate simple blob detection, measurement, and filtering. Requires the Image Processing Toolbox (IPT) because it demonstrates some functions supplied by that toolbox, plus it uses the "coins" demo image supplied with that toolbox. If you have the IPT (you can check by typing ver on the command line), you should be able to run this demo code simply by copying and pasting this code into a new editor window, and then clicking the green "run" triangle on the toolbar. First finds all the objects, then filters results to pick out objects of certain sizes. The basic concepts of thresholding, labeling, and regionprops are demonstrated with a simple example. It's a good tutorial for those users new to MATLAB's image processing capabilities to learn on, before they go on to more sophisticated algorithms. Also tested with R2009b (it still works!)
Required Products	Image Processing Toolbox
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

29 Aug 2009	us	an excellent and exceptionally well commented image processing demo by a seasoned ML user and senior CSSM citizen... a few changes i'd make: - put it into a function -> no need for the bad CLEAR ALL... - make the figure size smaller -and- - put an ECHO ON/OFF at the beginning/end of the demo -> for users to be able to enjoy the comments during run-time... just a few thoughts us
