MATLAB Implementation for Region of Interest Extraction

Resource Overview

Region of Interest extraction technique applicable to license plate recognition and typhoon image processing with effective results, featuring code implementation using edge detection and morphological operations

Detailed Documentation

Region of Interest (ROI) extraction is a highly valuable technique with broad applications across multiple domains. In license plate recognition systems, ROI extraction enables accurate localization and isolation of license plate information through methods like edge detection (using Canny or Sobel operators) and morphological operations (dilation/erosion) to enhance plate boundaries. Similarly, in typhoon image processing, this technique facilitates analysis and prediction of typhoon paths by implementing threshold-based segmentation and connected component analysis to identify storm nuclei. The effectiveness of this approach significantly improves workflow efficiency while reducing error rates through robust image preprocessing algorithms. Key MATLAB functions commonly employed include imbinarize for thresholding, bwconncomp for connected component analysis, and regionprops for feature measurement.
