Problem with roipoly.

Hi. I'm trying to use roipoly to select a region in order to make a calculation over that region. The problem is that when i create the image and select the region with "ginput", Matlab shows me a 1x1 image, just a pixel.

This is the code:

 w = imshow(Lesion_Visible(:,:,150),[]);
 [r c]=ginput(5)
 BW = roipoly(w,r,c);
 figure,imshow(BW)
 [R C] = size(BW);

 for i = 1:R
    for j = 1:C
        if BW(i,j) == 1
            Out(i,j) = w(i,j);
        else
            Out(i,j) = 0;
        end

    end
end

 figure; imshow(Out,[]);

I believe the problem is in the 'imshow' because Lesion_Visible is a logical array and w, that is imshow over Lesion_Visible, appears in the workspace like an 1x1 image. How can i fix this? Can i use roipoly over a logical array? Thanks.

PD: Lesion_Visible is an 434x362x362 array.

roipoly does not accept the handle of the image() graphics object as its first parameter: you have to pass the image array.

Hi Sir. And how can i do that?

What dou you mean with 'pass the image array'? Thanks.

[Walter Roberson]

this_image = Lesion_Visible(:,:,150);
imshow(this_image,[]);
[r, c] = ginput(5)
BW = roipoly(this_image, r, c);

Thanks sir. That was the mistake.
