Help with cropping a binary image?

I have this binary image:
How do I crop exactly to the outline of the fist?

Answers (1)

Use IMCOMPLEMENT to invert the polarity of the binary images so that the object (fist) is white. Then use BWBOUNDARIES to get the boundary pixels of the object.

Thank you! But can you show me how bwboundaries works?
boundaries = bwboundaries(~binaryImage);
but that gets you the outline coordinates of the fist. Is that what you want, or do you want the bounding box?
No, I just want the outline! How do I crop it after getting the coordinates? imcrop(?)?
