Displaying and Exploring Images

Displaying Images

Image Processing Toolbox extends MATLAB graphics to provide image display capabilities that are highly customizable. You can create displays with multiple images in a single window, annotate displays with text and graphics, and create specialized displays such as histograms, profiles, and contour plots.

The toolbox includes tools for displaying video and sequences in either a time-lapsed video viewer or an image montage. Volume visualization tools in MATLAB let you create isosurface displays of multidimensional image data sets.

Exploring Images

In addition to display functions, the toolbox provides a suite of interactive tools for exploring images and building GUIs. You can view image information, zoom and pan around the image, and closely examine a region of pixels. You can interactively place and manipulate ROIs, including points, lines, rectangles, polygons, ellipses, and freehand shapes. You can also interactively crop, adjust the contrast, and measure distances. The suite of tools is available within Image Tool or from individual functions that can be used to create customized GUIs.
