The implementation demonstrates key techniques including image binarization, morphological operations, and region property analysis using functions like imbinarize, bwconncomp, and regionprops.

Detailed Documentation

This code enables you to calculate the number and area of rice grains in MATLAB's built-in sample image. It serves as an excellent starting point for image processing beginners. The implementation typically involves converting the image to binary format using thresholding techniques, applying morphological operations to separate connected grains, and utilizing MATLAB's regionprops function to extract area measurements and count connected components. You can further enhance this code by incorporating advanced image processing techniques such as watershed segmentation for better grain separation or adaptive thresholding for improved accuracy under varying lighting conditions. This foundational approach provides a framework for more sophisticated grain analysis workflows.
