Image segmentation

Hi, i'm new to matlab. would like to do segmentation on an images of vehicles for vehicle classifcation task.

I have a set of images (with vehicles on them)
and a set of masks for each images (which is a black and white image with the black portion cover the background of the vehicle image perfectly).

Now, what i wana do is to segment the image based on the mask given.
How do i do it?

M = logical mask;
I = image;

I_of_mask = I.*cast(M,class(I));

For RGB images;
I_of_mask = bsxfun(@times,I,cast(M,class(I)));

Once you have your masked image like Sean showed you, then you can do
image segmentation on it like in this demo:
