MATLAB: How to draw a circle on existed circle ? How to calculate the image shift in pixels from its center

Question

Here is my image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/imfill.jpg

Can we draw two circles, one inside and the other outside of the above link circle.

Answer 1

You can use bwboundaries if all you want to do is draws outlines of the boundaries in the overlay above the original image:

format longg;
format compact;
clc;  % Clear command window.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 25;
% Read in a standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
folder = 'C:\Users\Naresh\Documents\Temporary';
baseFileName = 'imfill.jpg';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % File doesn't exist -- didn't find it there.  Check the search path for it.
  fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
    % Still didn't find it.  Alert user.
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    return;
  end
end
grayImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image.  
% numberOfColorBands should be = 1.
[rows columns numberOfColorBands] = size(grayImage)
% Display the original gray scale image.

subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
axis square;
title('Original Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
% Give a name to the title bar.
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off') 
% Create a binary image.
binaryImage = grayImage < 128;
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(binaryImage);
axis square;
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% bwboundaries() returns a cell array, where each cell contains the row/column coordinates for an object in the image.
% Plot the borders of all the coins on the original grayscale image using the coordinates returned by bwboundaries.
% Display the original gray scale image.
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Original Grayscale Image with Outlines from bwboundaries()', 'FontSize', fontSize);
axis square;
hold on;
boundaries = bwboundaries(binaryImage);
numberOfBoundaries = size(boundaries, 1);
for k = 1 : numberOfBoundaries
  thisBoundary = boundaries{k};
  plot(thisBoundary(:,2), thisBoundary(:,1), 'r-', 'LineWidth', 3);
end
hold off;
