MATLAB: Image segmentation of a fringe pattern image to extract the fringe area

Image Processing Toolboximage segmentation; fringe pattern

Best Answer

Can you post a screenshot where you outline exactly what region(s) you want to segment? One way might be to use a texture filter like stdfilt(). This would give you a binary mask of just the smooth fringe parts. It's not computationally expensive - not sure why you said that. Did you actually try it? It should finish in a fraction of a second.
