Figure window showing up matlab - image

I have written this code to help me compare different image histograms however when i run it i get a figure window popping up. I can't see anywhere in the code where i have written imshow and am really confused. Can anyone see why? thanks

results3{i,2} = hi(example3,images{i, 2});
end
results3 = flipdim(sortrows(results3,2),1);

The colormap function sets the current figure's colormap, if there is no figure one is created.
The second parameter of imhist should be the number of bins used in the histogram, not the colormap.

Run your code in the Matlab debugger, step through it line by line, and see when the figure window pops up. That'll tell you what's creating it.

Etienne's answer is right for why you're getting a figure, but I'd just like to add that colormap is unnecessary in this code:
images{i, 2} = imhist(rgb2ind(images{i, 1}, colormap(colorcube(256))));
All you need is:
images{i, 2} = imhist(rgb2ind(images{i, 1}, colorcube(256)));
The second input of rgb2ind should be a colormap, yes. But the output of colorcube is a colormap already. Unless you've got an existing figure and you either want to set the colormap of it or retrieve the colormap it is currently using, the actual function colormap is not necessary.
Other than opening an unnecessary figure, the output of your existing code won't be wrong, as I think in this situation colormap will just pass as an output argument the colormap it was given as an input argument. For example, if you want to set the current figure colormap to one of the inbuilts and return the actual colormap:
cmap = colormap('bone');

matlab imwrite new image instead of overriding it

I have function that checks for bottle cap. If there is no cap detected, it writes it as an image into folder. My problem is that if I pass different image, the old one get overridden with new one, is there a way to make new image instead of overwriting old one such as nocap0,jpg, then new one nocap1.jpg etc?
Code:
function [ ] = CHECK_FOR_CAP( image )
%crop loaction of cap
imageCROP = imcrop(image,[130 0 100 50]);
%turn to BW
imageBW=im2bw(imageCROP);
%count black pixels
answer = sum(sum(imageBW==0));
%if <250 black, save it to folder NOCAP
if answer<250
imwrite(image, 'TESTINGFOLDERS/NOCAP/nocap.jpg', 'jpg');
disp('NO CAP DETECTED');
end
UPDATE
I changed the code a bit now. Everytime I give a different image it now writes new one, BUT it overwrites the previous one aswell like so: http://imgur.com/a/KIuvg
My new code:
function [ ] = CHECK_FOR_CAP( image )
folder = 'TESTINGFOLDERS/NOCAP';
filePattern = fullfile(folder, '/*.*');
ImageFiles = dir(filePattern);
%crop loaction of cap
imageCROP = imcrop(image,[130 0 100 50]);
%turn to BW
imageBW=im2bw(imageCROP);
%count black pixels
answer = sum(sum(imageBW==0));
%if <250 black, save it to folder NOCAP
if answer<250
a = length(ImageFiles)-1;
for j = 1:a
baseFileName = [num2str(j),'.jpg'];
filename = fullfile(folder,baseFileName);
if exist(filename,'file')
imwrite(image,filename);
end
imwrite(image, fullfile(filename));
end
disp('NO CAP DETECTED');
end
You write
for j = 1:a
baseFileName = [num2str(j),'.jpg'];
filename = fullfile(folder,baseFileName);
if exist(filename,'file')
imwrite(image,filename);
end
imwrite(image, fullfile(filename));
end
This means that whenever you find a file, you overwrite it. Then you overwrite it again. You do this for as many files as exist (a comes from some dir you do on your folder). What you want is the opposite: find one that does not exist. Something like this:
j = 0;
while true
j = j + 1;
baseFileName = [num2str(j),'.jpg'];
filename = fullfile(folder,baseFileName);
if ~exist(filename,'file')
break
end
end
imwrite(image, fullfile(filename));
This could be further shortened (e.g., by looping while exist(...)) but it conveys the idea...

Matlab image filtering without using conv2

I've been given a task to create image filtering function for 3x3 matrices, and its outcome must be equal to conv2's. I have written this function, but it filters image incorrectly:
function [ image ] = Func134( img,matrix )
image=img;
len=length(img)
for i=2:1:len-1
for j=2:1:len-1
value=0;
for g=-1:1:1
for l=-1:1:1
value=value+img(i+g,j+l)*matrix(g+2,l+2);
end
end
image(i,j)=value;
end
end
i=1:1:length
image(i,1)=image(i,2)
image(i,len)=image(i,len-1)
image(1,i)=image(2,i)
image(len,i)=image(len-1,i)
end
Filtration matrix is [3,10,3;0,0,0;-3,-10,-3]
Please help to figure out what is wrong with my code.
Some sample results I get between conv2 and my code are seen below.
First off, this line doesn't make sense:
i=1:1:length;
I think you meant to use len instead of length as the ending index:
i=1:1:len;
Now referring to your code, it is correct, but what you are doing is correlation not convolution. In 2D convolution, you have to perform a 180 degree rotation of the kernel / mask and then do the weighted sum. As such, if you want to achieve the same results using conv2, you must pre-rotate the mask before calling it.
mask = [3,10,3;0,0,0;-3,-10,-3]
mask_flip = mask(end:-1:1,end:-1:1);
out = conv2(img, mask, 'same');
mask_flip contains the 180 degree rotated kernel. We use the 'same' flag to ensure that the output size of the result is the same size as the input. However, when using conv2, we are assuming that the borders of the image are zero-padded. Your code simply copies the border pixels of the original image into the resulting image. This is known as replicating behaviour but that is not what conv2 does natively. conv2 assumes that the border pixels are zero-padded as I mentioned before, so what I would suggest you do is create two additional images, one being the output image that has 2 more rows and 2 more columns and another being the input image that is the same size as the output image but you place the input image inside this matrix. Next, perform the filtering on this new image, place the resulting filtered pixels in the output image then crop this result. I've decided to create a new padded input image in order to keep most of your code intact.
I would also recommend that you abolish the use of length here. Use size instead to determine the image dimensions. Something like this will work:
function [ image ] = Func134( img,matrix )
[rows,cols] = size(img); %// Change
%// New - Create a padded matrix that is the same class as the input
new_img = zeros(rows+2,cols+2);
new_img = cast(new_img, class(img));
%// New - Place original image in padded result
new_img(2:end-1,2:end-1) = img;
%// Also create new output image the same size as the padded result
image = zeros(size(new_img));
image = cast(image, class(img));
for i=2:1:rows+1 %// Change
for j=2:1:cols+1 %// Change
value=0;
for g=-1:1:1
for l=-1:1:1
value=value+new_img(i+g,j+l)*matrix(g+2,l+2); %// Change
end
end
image(i,j)=value;
end
end
%// Change
%// Crop the image and remove the extra border pixels
image = image(2:end-1,2:end-1);
end
To compare, I've generated this random matrix:
>> rng(123);
>> A = rand(10,10)
A =
0.6965 0.3432 0.6344 0.0921 0.6240 0.1206 0.6693 0.0957 0.3188 0.7050

0.4231 0.7380 0.3230 0.3123 0.2505 0.3041 0.0832 0.5944 0.8417 0.6917
0.9808 0.1825 0.3618 0.4264 0.4830 0.4170 0.7637 0.5568 0.3574 0.1511

Now running with what we talked about above:
mask = [3,10,3;0,0,0;-3,-10,-3];
mask_flip = mask(end:-1:1,end:-1:1);
B = Func134(A,mask);
C = conv2(A, mask_flip,'same');
We get the following for your function and the output of conv2:

Reverse image search implementation

I am currently trying to make a site which will contain several images with patterns and shapes (Lets say few squares and circles of various colors and shape in each picture). And I am aiming to provide the user a way to upload their images of the pattern and do a reverse image search to check whether similar pattern image already exists in my site or not. So is there any way to implement the same, either by custom code or by using any third party api/widgets etc?
Hi Ashish below is a matlab code for a function which generates signature of a particular binary object's surface, which is nearly size dependent, you can use this concept for matching a shape on different scale.
function sig = signature(bw,prec)
boundry = bwboundaries(bw);
xy = boundry{1};
x = xy(:,1);
y = xy(:,2);
len = length(x);
res = (len/prec);
re = rem(res,2);
if re
res = ceil(res);
end
indexes = 1:res:len;
xnew = x(indexes);
ynew = y(indexes);
cx = round(mean(xnew));
cy = round(mean(ynew));
xn = abs(xnew-cx);
yn = abs(ynew-cy);
sig = (xn.^2+yn.^2);
sig = sig/max(sig);
Following is the example of how to use signature function:
clc
clear all
close all
path = 'E:\GoogleDrive\Mathworks\irisDEt\shapes';
im1 = imread([path,'\3.png']);
gray1 = ((im1));
scales = [1,2,3,4];
gray1 = im2bw(gray1);
for i = 1:length(scales)
im = imresize(gray1,scales(i));
sig = signature(im,25);
figure,plot(sig)
fra = getframe();
image = frame2im(fra);
imwrite(image,['E:\GoogleDrive\Mathworks\irisDEt\shapes\',num2str(i),'.png'])
end
following is the test image and its signature for changing in size od images which looks similar in shape.
All above signatures are generated by the code given above.

How to make images saved locally actually appear on my screen?

Hello!
i'm trying to have my images appearing on a label by using this code
this is to save a random image from a particular URL
def photo_1():
urls = "https://www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157644537473411/" # You may change this into other websites!
regex = '<img src="([^"]+)".*>'
pattern = re.compile(regex)
photofile=urllib.urlopen(urls)
raw_data=photofile.read()
download=re.findall(pattern,raw_data)
randomdownload=random.choice(download)
urllib.urlretrieve(randomdownload, "1.gif")
global done_button2
done_button2 = Button(photo_window, text = 'Click here to display your chosen image on the black screen!', width = 53, command = generate_1)
done_button2.grid(row = 5, sticky = N)
done_button.config(state='disabled')
and this is to have the saved image appearing on a label but apparently not working so well ..
def generate_1():
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("1.gif"))
image_area = Label(photo_window, image = img, width = 55, height = 5).grid(row=2)
global done_button3
done_button3 = Button(photo_window, text = 'Click here to save the second random image locally! ', width = 53, command = photo_2)
done_button3.grid(row = 6, sticky = N)
done_button2.config(state='disabled')
this was a part of my code and when i run this application i made,
the only thing i can see is a white rectangular shape and i would like it to be as big as a black label underneath (size of (55,5) )with the actual image appearing...
can anyone help me with this problem?
You might have thought that my English is not that great haha
but please have mercy!

Wand equivalent of ImageMagick "convert -append"

I would like to write the equivalent of
convert left.jpg right.jpg +append ouput.jpg
I found something like it in another post:
files = glob('*.jpg')
with Image() as orig: # create empty Image object
for f in files:
page = Image(filename=f)
orig.sequence.append(page)
orig.save(filename='result.pdf')
and changed it to
with Image() as orig: # create empty Image object
page = Image(filename='left.jpg'); orig.sequence.append(page)
page = Image(filename='right.jpg'); orig.sequence.append(page)
orig.save(filename='output.jpg')
but the output file just shows the first file, rather than a file with the images side-by-side.
My first attempt was completely wrong, it probably makes an animated image. Provided the two images are the same size, this will do it:
with Image() as blankimage:
with Image(filename = 'imageA.tif') as imageA:
w = imageA.width; h = imageA.height
with Image(filename = 'imageB.tif') as imageB:
blankimage.blank(w*2, h)
blankimage.composite(imageA, 0, 0)
blankimage.composite(imageB, w, 0)
blankimage.save(filename = 'output.tif')
