MATLAB Boundary Tracing Program

Resource Overview

A MATLAB boundary tracing application designed for binary images, which outputs the coordinate points of detected boundaries.

Detailed Documentation

In this project, we develop a boundary tracing program using MATLAB. The program accepts a binary image as input and outputs the coordinates of boundary points. To achieve this, we utilize MATLAB's Image Processing Toolbox, which provides a range of functions for image manipulation, including binarization, erosion, dilation, and more. Key implementation steps involve: - Using functions like `bwboundaries` to extract boundary coordinates from binary images - Applying morphological operations to refine boundary detection if necessary - Optimizing the algorithm by reducing redundant processing steps and employing efficient traversal methods (e.g., Moore-Neighborhood tracing) to improve speed and accuracy We ensure the program operates reliably under various conditions and produces accurate coordinate data for further analysis or visualization.
