HI,
How to do masking for the color image;
thanks
MATLAB: How to do masking of color image

Use bwconvhull();
% Get convex hull of mask.
mask = bwconvhull(mask);% Mask the image using bsxfun() function
maskedRgbImage = bsxfun(@times, rgbImage, cast(mask, class(rgbImage)));You can use ~mask in the cast() if you want the inverse of the mask.
Federica, use the Color Thresholder (Apps tab or tool ribbon) to get a binary image of red stuff. Export the code and put it into your main program. Then if you know it's small, use bwareaopen() or bwareafilt() to get rid of bigger blobs. If there are still small red specks, then you might have to first find the mask for the black blob and multiply the black mask by the red mask to get only red blobs inside the black blob. That should find you all small red blobs inside the black blob. Then call regionprops() to get its centroid, area, or whatever else you need to know about it. Not hard at all.
Let me know if you can't figure it out.
