How to write an if else statement in matrix matlab - image

I am trying to read an image and get the x,y and pixel coordinates. It is an RGB image which has a size (282,282,3). However I get pixel coordinates matrix of (282*3, 282, pixel values). Further, though the if else condition is working for normal given values, in this code, it is not working. Can anyone help me find where I went wrong?
clear all
clc
A = double(imread('F:\02.jpg'));
size(A)
[length, width] = size(A);
[x, y] = meshgrid(1:width, 1:length);
z(:) = A(:)/255;
if (z >=0.50000)
z =1;
elseif(z <0.50000)
z=0;
end
Z = z(:)

As z is not a scalar but matrix or vector a logical comparison z >= val also results in a matrix/vector (of mixed ones and zeros). What you can do is to use this result as indexing, for example
ix = z >= 0.5;
z( ix) = 1;
z(~ix) = 0;

Interp2 of image with transformed coordinates

I have 2 greyscale images that i am trying to align using scalar scaling 1 , rotation matrix [2,2] and translation vector [2,1]. I can calculate image1's transformed coordinates as
y = s*R*x + t;
Below the resulting images are shown.
The first image is image1 before transformation,
the second image is image1 (red) with attempted interpolation using interp2 shown on top of image2 (green)
The third image is when i manually insert the pixel values from image1 into an empty array (that has the same size as image2) using the transformed coordinates.
From this we can see that the coordinate transformation must have been successful, as the images are aligned although not perfectly (which is to be expected since only 2 coordinates were used in calculating s, R and t) .
How come interp2 is not producing a result more similar to when i manually insert pixel values?
Below the code for doing this is included:
Interpolation code
function [transformed_image] = interpolate_image(im_r,im_t,s,R,t)
[m,n] = size(im_t);
% doesn't help if i use get_grid that the other function is using here
[~, grid_xr, grid_yr] = get_ipgrid(im_r);
[x_t, grid_xt, grid_yt] = get_ipgrid(im_t);
y = s*R*x_t + t;
yx = reshape(y(1,:), m,n);
yy = reshape(y(2,:), m,n);
transformed_image = interp2(grid_xr, grid_yr, im_r, yx, yy, 'nearest');
end
function [x, grid_x, grid_y] = get_ipgrid(image)
[m,n] = size(image);
[grid_x,grid_y] = meshgrid(1:n,1:m);
x = [reshape(grid_x, 1, []); reshape(grid_y, 1, [])]; % X is [2xM*N] coordinate pairs
end
The manual code
function [transformed_image] = transform_image(im_r,im_t,s,R,t)
[m,n] = size(im_t);
[x_t, grid_xt, grid_yt] = get_grid(im_t);
y = s*R*x_t + t;
ymat = reshape(y',m,n,2);
yx = ymat(:,:,1);
yy = ymat(:,:,2);
transformed_image = zeros(m,n);
for i = 1:m
for j = 1:n
% make sure coordinates are inside
if (yx(i,j) < m & yy(i,j) < n & yx(i,j) > 0.5 & yy(i,j) > 0.5)
transformed_image(round(yx(i,j)),round(yy(i,j))) = im_r(i,j);
end
end
end
end
function [x, grid_x, grid_y] = get_grid(image)
[m,n] = size(image);
[grid_y,grid_x] = meshgrid(1:n,1:m);
x = [grid_x(:) grid_y(:)]'; % X is [2xM*N] coordinate pairs
end
Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong with interp2? I feel like i have tried everything
Turns out i got interpolation all wrong.
In my question i calculate the coordinates of im1 in im2.
However the way interpolation works is that i need to calculate the coordinates of im2 in im1 such that i can map the image as shown below.
This means that i also calculated the wrong s,R and t since they were used to transform im1 -> im2, where as i needed im2 -> im1. (this is also called the inverse transform). Below is the manual code, that is basically the same as interp2 with nearest neighbour interpolation
function [transformed_image] = transform_image(im_r,im_t,s,R,t)
[m,n] = size(im_t);
[x_t, grid_xt, grid_yt] = get_grid(im_t);
y = s*R*x_t + t;
ymat = reshape(y',m,n,2);
yx = ymat(:,:,1);
yy = ymat(:,:,2);
transformed_image = zeros(m,n);
for i = 1:m
for j = 1:n
% make sure coordinates are inside
if (yx(i,j) < m & yy(i,j) < n & yx(i,j) > 0.5 & yy(i,j) > 0.5)
transformed_image(i,j) = im_r(round(yx(i,j)),round(yy(i,j)));
end
end
end
end

Check for pixel values in a neighborhood

I'm trying to write a MATLAB script that does the following:
Given: pixel coordinates(x,y) for a .jpg image
Goal: Check, within a 5 pixel radius of given coordinates, if there is a pixel of a certain value.
For example, let's say I'm given the coordinates (100,100), then I want to check the neighborhood of (100,100) within my image for any pixels that are black (0,0,0). So perhaps, pixel (103, 100) and (104,100) might have the value (0,0,0).
Current code:
x_coord = uint32(coord(:,1));
y_coord = uint32(coord(:,2));
count = 0;
for i = 1:length(x_coord)
%(img(x,y) returns pixel value at that (x,y)
%Note 0 = black. Indicating that, at that position, the image is just
% black
if img(x_coord(i),y_coord(i)) == 0
count = count + 1;
end
end
It currently only checks at an exact location. Not in a local neighborhood. How to could I extend this?
EDIT: Also note, as long as there as at least one pixel in the neighborhood with the value, I increment count. I'm not trying to enumerate how many pixels in the neighborhood have that value, just trying to find evidence of at least one pixel that has that value.
EDIT:
Even though I am unable to identify an error with the code, I am not able to get the exact results I want. Here is the code I am using.
val = 0; %pixel value to check
N = 50; % neighbourhood radius
%2D grid of coordinates surrounding center coordinate
[R, C] = ndgrid(1 : size(img, 1), 1 : size(img, 2));
for kk = 1 : size(coord, 1)
r = coord(kk, 1); c = coord(kk, 2); % Get pixel locations
% mask of valid locations within the neighbourhood (avoid boundary problems)
mask = (R - r).^2 + (C - c).^2 <= N*N;
pix = img(mask); % Get the valid pixels
valid = any(pix(:) ~= val);
% Add either 0 or 1 depending if we have found any matching pixels
if(valid == 1)
img = insertMarker(img, [r c], 'x', 'color', 'red', 'size', 10);
imwrite(img, images(i).name,'tiff');
end
count = count + valid;
end
An easier way to do this would be to use indexing to grab a neighbourhood, then to check to see if any of the pixels in the neighbourhood have the value that you're looking for, use any on a flattened version of this neighbourhood. The trick with grabbing the right neighbourhood is to first generate a 2D grid of coordinates that span the entire dimensions of your image, then simply use the equation of a circle with the centre of it being each coordinate you are looking at and determine those locations that satisfy the following equation:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 <= N^2
N is the radius of the observation window, (a, b) is a coordinate of interest while (x, y) is a coordinate in the image. Use meshgrid to generate the coordinates.
You would use the above equation to create a logical mask, index into your image to pull the locations that are valid within the mask and check how many pixels match the one you want. Another added benefit with the above approach is that you are not subject to any out of bounds errors. Because you are pre-generating the list of all valid coordinates in your image, generating the mask will confine you within the boundaries of the image so you never have to check for out of boundaries conditions.... even when you specify coordinates to search that are out of bounds.
Specifically, assuming your image is stored in img, you would do:
count = 0; % Remembers total count of pixels matching a value
val = 0; % Value to match
N = 50; % Radius of neighbourhood
% Generate 2D grid of coordinates
[x, y] = meshgrid(1 : size(img, 2), 1 : size(img, 1));
% For each coordinate to check...
for kk = 1 : size(coord, 1)
a = coord(kk, 1); b = coord(kk, 2); % Get the pixel locations
mask = (x - a).^2 + (y - b).^2 <= N*N; % Get a mask of valid locations
% within the neighbourhood
pix = img(mask); % Get the valid pixels
count = count + any(pix(:) == val); % Add either 0 or 1 depending if
% we have found any matching pixels
end
The proposed solution:
fc = repmat(-5:5,11,1);
I = (fc.^2+fc'.^2)<=25;
fc_x = fc(I);
fc_y = fc'; fc_y = fc_y(I);
for i = 1:length(x_coord)
x_toCheck = fc_x + x_coord(i);
y_toCheck = fc_y + y_coord(i);
I = x_toCheck>0 & x_toCheck<=yourImageWidth;
I = I.*(y_toCheck>0 & y_toCheck<=yourImageHeight);
x_toCheck = x_toCheck(logical(I));
y_toCheck = y_toCheck(logical(I));
count = sum(img(x_toCheck(:),y_toCheck(:)) == 0);
end
If your img function can only check one pixel at a time, just add a for loop:
for i = 1:length(x_coord)
x_toCheck = fc_x + x_coord(i);
y_toCheck = fc_y + y_coord(i);
I = x_toCheck>0 & x_toCheck<=yourImageWidth;
I = I.*(y_toCheck>0 & y_toCheck<=yourImageHeight);
x_toCheck = x_toCheck(logical(I));
y_toCheck = y_toCheck(logical(I));
for j = 1:length(x_toCheck)
count = count + (img(x_toCheck(j),y_toCheck(j)) == 0);
end
end
Step-by-step:
You first need to get all the coordinates within 5 pixels range of the given coordinate.
We start by building a square of 11 pixels in length/width.
fc = repmat(-5:5,11,1);
fc_x = fc;
fc_y = fc';
plot(fc_x,fc_y,'.');
We now need to build a filter to get rid of those points outside the 5-pixel radius.
I = (fc.^2+fc'.^2)<=25;
Apply the filter, so we can get a circle of 5-pixel radius.
fc_x = fc_x(I);
fc_y = fc_y(I);
Next translate the centre of the circle to the given coordinate:
x_toCheck = fc_x + x_coord(i);
y_toCheck = fc_y + y_coord(i);
You need to check whether part of the circle is outside the range of your image:
I = x_toCheck>0 & x_toCheck<=yourImageWidth;
I = I.*(y_toCheck>0 & y_toCheck<=yourImageHeight);
x_toCheck = x_toCheck(logical(I));
y_toCheck = y_toCheck(logical(I));
Finally count the pixels:
count = sum(img(x_toCheck,y_toCheck) == 0);

MATLAB finding average RGB value across all pixels in image

Code is below. I'm looping through an input image 1 pixel at a time and determining its RGB value. Afterwards i'm trying to find the average RGB value for the image overall. For some reason the averaging portion of my code isnt working though.
im = imread(filename);
[width, height, depth] = size(im);
count = 0;
r=0;
g=0;
b=0;
for x = 1 : width
for y = 1: height
r = r + im(x,y,1);
g = g + im(x,y,2);
b = b + im(x,y,3);
count = count + 1;
end
end
%find averages of each RGB value.
r2 = r/count;
g2 = g/count;
b2 = b/count;
Why not vectorizing and using mean?
mean( reshape( im, [], 3 ), 1 )
The following code would work as well;
pep = imread('peppers.png');
mean(mean(pep))
This will return a 1x1x3 vector which will be the mean values of R, G, and B respectively.

Image with accordion effect

I have read in an image file to MATLAB and I am trying to stretch it in one direction, but a variable amount (sinusoidal). This would create an accordion affect on the image. I have toyed around with imresize, however that only resizes the image linearly. I would like the amount of "stretch" to vary for each image line. I tried to convey this with the following code:
periods = 10; % Number of "stretch" cycles
sz = size(original_image,2)/periods;
s = 0;
x = 0;
for index = 1:periods
B = original_image(:,round(s+1:s+sz));
if mod(index,2) == 0
amp = 1.5;
else
amp = 0.75;
end
xi = size(B,2)*amp;
new_image(:,x+1:x+xi) = imresize(B, [size(B,1) size(B,2)*amp]);
s = s + sz;
x = x+xi;
end
You can see that segments of the image are stretched, then compressed, then stretched, etc, like an accordion. However, each segment has a uniform amount of stretch, whereas I'd like it to be increasing then decreasing as you move along the image.
I have also looked at MATLAB's example of Applying a Sinusoidal Transformation to a Checkerboard which seems very applicable to my problem, however I have been trying and I cannot get this to produce the desired result for my image.
Any help is much appreciated.
UPDATE:
Thank you for Answer #1. I was unable to get it to work for me, but also realized it would resulted in loss of data, as the code only called for certian lines in the original image, and other lines would have been ignored.
After experimenting further, I developed the code below. I used a checkerboard as an example. While combersome, it does get the job done. However, upon trying the script with an actual high-resolution image, it was extremely slow and ended up failing due to running out of memory. I believe this is because of the excessive number of "imresize" commands that are used in loop.
I = checkerboard(10,50);
I = imrotate(I,90);
[X Y] = size(I);
k = 4; % Number of "cycles"
k = k*2;
x = 1;
y = 2;
z = 2;
F = [];
i = 1;
t = 0;
s = 0;
for j = 1:k/2
t = t + 1;
for inc = round(s+1):round(Y/k*t)
Yi = i + 1;
F(:,(x:y)) = imresize(I(:,(inc:inc)),[X Yi]);
x = y + 1;
y = x + z;
z = z + 1;
i = i + 1;
end
y = y - 2;
z = z - 4;
for inc = round(Y/k*t+1):round(Y/k*(t+1))
Yi = i - 1;
F(:,(x:y)) = imresize(I(:,(inc:inc)),[X Yi]);
x = y + 1;
y = x + z;
z = z - 1;
i = i - 1;
end
y = y + 2;
z = z + 4;
s = Y/k*(t+1);
t = t + 1;
end
Fn = imresize(F, [X Y]);
imshow(Fn);
Does anyone know of a simpler way to achieve this? If you run the code above, you can see the effect I am trying to achieve. Unfortunately, my method above does not allow me to adjust the amplitude of the "stretch" either, only the number of "cycles," or frequency. Help on this would also be appreciated. Much thanks!
Here is how I would approach it:
Determine how the coordinate of each point in your Final image F maps into your Initial image I of size (M,N)
Since you want to stretch horizontally only, given a point (xF,yF) in your final image, that point would be (xI,yI) in your initial image where xI and yI can be obtained as follows:
yI = yF;
xI = xF + Lsin(xFK);
Notes:
these equations do not guarantee that xI remains within the range [1:N] so cropping needs to be added
K controls the how many wrinkles you want to have in your accordion effect. For example, if you only want one wrinkle, K would be 2*pi/N
L controls how much stretching you want to apply
Then simply express your image F from image I with the transforms you have in 1.
Putting it all together, the code below creates a sample image I and generates the image F as follows:
% Generate a sample input image
N=500;
xF=1:N;
I=(1:4)'*xF/N*50;
% Set the parameters for your accordion transform
K=2*pi/N;
L=100;
% Apply the transform
F=I(:, round(min(N*ones(1,N), max(ones(1,N), (xF + L*sin(xF*K))))) );
% Display the input and output images side by side
image(I);
figure;
image(F);
If you run this exact code you get:
As you can see, the final image on the right stretches the center part of the image on the left, giving you an accordion effect with one wrinkle.
You can fiddle with K and L and adjust the formula to get the exact effect you want, but note how by expressing the transform in a matrix form MATLAB executes the code in a fraction of second. If there is one take away for you is that you should stay away from for loops and complex processing whenever you can.
Have fun!

Cubic to equirectangular projection algorithm

I have a cube map texture which defines a surrounding, however I need to pass it to a program which only works with latitude/longitude maps. I am really at lost here on how to do the translation. Any help here?
In other words, I need to come from here:
To this (I think that image has an aditional -90° rotation over the x axis):
update: I got the official names of the projections. By the way, I found the opposite projection here
A general procedure for projecting raster images like this is:
for each pixel of the destination image:
calculate the corresponding unit vector in 3-dimensional space
calculate the x,y coordinate for that vector in the source image
sample the source image at that coordinate and assign the value to the destination pixel
The last step is simply interpolation. We will focus on the other two steps.
The unit vector for a given latitude and longitude is (+z towards the north pole, +x towards the prime meridian):
x = cos(lat)*cos(lon)
y = cos(lat)*sin(lon)
z = sin(lat)
Assume the cube is +/- 1 unit around the origin (i.e. 2x2x2 overall size).
Once we have the unit vector, we can find the face of the cube it's on by looking at the element with the largest absolute value. For example, if our unit vector was <0.2099, -0.7289, 0.6516>, then the y element has the largest absolute value. It's negative, so the point will be found on the -y face of the cube. Normalize the other two coordinates by dividing by the y magnitude to get the location within that face. So, the point will be at x=0.2879, z=0.8939 on the -y face.
I'd like to share my MATLAB implementation of this conversion. I also borrowed from the OpenGL 4.1 specification, Chapter 3.8.10 (found here), as well as Paul Bourke's website (found here). Make sure you look under the subheading: Converting to and from 6 cubic environment maps and a spherical map.
I also used Sambatyon's post above as inspiration. It started off as a port from Python over to MATLAB, but I made the code so that it is completely vectorized (i.e. no for loops). I also take the cubic image and split it up into 6 separate images, as the application I'm building has the cubic image in this format. Also there is no error checking with the code, and that this assumes that all of the cubic images are of the same size (n x n). This also assumes that the images are in RGB format. If you'd like to do this for a monochromatic image, simply comment out those lines of code that require access to more than one channel. Here we go!

I've also made the code publicly available through github and you can go here for it. Included is the main conversion script, a test script to show its use and a sample set of 6 cubic images pulled from Paul Bourke's website. I hope this is useful!
Project changed name to libcube2cyl. Same goodness, better working examples both in C and C++.
Now also available in C.
I happened to solve the exact same problem as you described.
I wrote this tiny C++ lib called "Cube2Cyl", you can find the detailed explanation of algorithm here: Cube2Cyl
Please find the source code from github: Cube2Cyl
It is released under MIT licence, use it for free!
So, I found a solution mixing this article on spherical coordinates from wikipedia and the Section 3.8.10 from the OpenGL 4.1 specification (plus some hacks to make it work). So, assuming that the cubic image has a height h_o and width w_o, the equirectangular will have a height h = w_o / 3 and a width w = 2 * h. Now for each pixel (x, y) 0 <= x <= w, 0 <= y <= h in the equirectangular projection, we want to find the corresponding pixel in the cubic projection, I solve it using the following code in python (I hope I didn't make mistakes while translating it from C)
import math
# from wikipedia
def spherical_coordinates(x, y):
return (math.pi*((y/h) - 0.5), 2*math.pi*x/(2*h), 1.0)
# from wikipedia
def texture_coordinates(theta, phi, rho):
return (rho * math.sin(theta) * math.cos(phi),
rho * math.sin(theta) * math.sin(phi),
rho * math.cos(theta))

I think from your algorithm in Python you might have inverted x and y in the calculation of theta and phi.
def spherical_coordinates(x, y):
return (math.pi*((y/h) - 0.5), 2*math.pi*x/(2*h), 1.0)
from Paul Bourke's website here
theta = x pi
phi = y pi / 2
and in your code you are using y in the theta calculation and x in the phi calculation.
Correct me if I am wrong.
