SegmentTool: An Interactive GUI for Segmenting Images

Interactively find the best approach to segmenting (masking) your image

Description

SegmentTool launches a UI-driven tool for trying different approaches to masking your image.

Try different edge detection algorithms, modifying all possible parameters; implement global or local thresholds; detect regional or extended minima or maxima; find lines or circles. See the results of different approaches and inputs immediately.

Import new images from file or workspace; export segmentation masks; generate reproduction code; visualize segmentation on your original image; change colorspace representaions; lots more!

CURRENT TABS:
edge; threshold; Hough line/circle; Regional/Extended Min/Max, Color-Based.

COMING SOON:
A tab to manage manual segmentation approaches!

Suggestion: Use SegmentTool in conjunction with MorphTool to increase your image processing productivity!

• Required Products: Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 8.0 (R2012b)
• Other requirements: MATLAB R2009a or later. In order to call FindCirclesGUI, you'll need R2012a or later. If you want to add this as an App, you'll need R2012b.

Good example for GUI of IP application.

Great example for understanding techniques!

Can you send me the getNewImage function?. Thanks

[Ciaran Robb]

Hi,

A great tool. I too am getting the error Error in SegmentTool/getFile (line 414)
[img,cmap,original.fname,~,userCanceled] = getNewImage(true);
Can you send me the fix for this

Thanks
Ciaran

I get the same error when I click on FILE --> import. Can you pls send me the file too asap.

there is an error:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Error in SegmentTool/getFile (line 414)
[img,cmap,original.fname,~,userCanceled] = getNewImage(true);

Error while evaluating uimenu Callback
---------------------------------------------------------------

Did I make a mistake?

I'm on:

---------------------------------------------------------------
MATLAB Version 8.0 (R2012b)
Image Processing Toolbox Version 8.1 (R2012b)
---------------------------------------------------------------

'opengl software' fixed the title problem.

Thank you for all and I'm gonna wait your further release.

@Geoffrey:
Again, I have the FindCirclesGUI in a state of "waiting for update." I'm sending you a newer version of that, too--should address the problems with that command.

The inverted text problem is, I believe, an openGL rendering issue. Try ecxecuting the command "openGL software" (without the quotes) before you call SegmentTool, and see if that corrects the problem. (What version of MATLAB and of openGL are you using?)

[Geoffrey]

Thank you very much for your fast answer!

The segmentation and Hough line tools are working very well but there is still some minor bug;

When I use any function all the titles are flipped upside down like that :

And the find-circles function doesn't work, i get the error message:
----------------------------------------------------------
Error using imread (line 368)
File "file_open.png" does not exist.

Error in FindCirclesGUI (line 71)
tmp =
im2double(imread('file_open.png'));

Error in SegmentTool/LaunchFindCirclesGUI (line 1784)
FindCirclesGUI(get(imhandles(workingax),'cdata'))

Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
----------------------------------------------------------

I try to call my file like 'file_open.png' but it still doesn't works...

Thank you again for using your time.
Cordially, Geoffrey

@Geoffrey:
The mistake was mine. I made a change, but neglected to include the "getNewImage" function. I expect the corrected version to be available soon. In the meantime, I sent the file to you directly. Thank you for the notification!
