MATLAB: How to fill inside of the object

gesture recognitionhandImage Processing Toolbox

Hello every one,

I have one hand image(binary), which after doing segmentation i got the image with edges and now i want to fill inside of the hand which can see in the second following image.

I used imfill but it didnt change anything.

I will appreciate if anyone can help me to do it.

thanks

You need to draw a line across the bottom to close off the arm before you fill it.

% Make tempoprary line.
binaryImage(end, :) = true;
% arm is sealed off.  Now we can fill.
binaryImage = imfill(binaryImage, 'holes');
% Erase temporary line.
binaryImage(end,:) = false;

Try this:

close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 25;

% Get the name of the first image the user wants to use.
baseFileName = 'A.jpg';
folder = fileparts(which(baseFileName)); % Determine where demo folder is (works with all versions).
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % The file doesn't exist -- didn't find it there in that folder.
  % Check the entire search path (other folders) for the file by stripping off the folder.
  fullFileNameOnSearchPath = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileNameOnSearchPath, '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;
