MATLAB: Sending commands after detecting red colour in a captured image.

commandsdetect redImage Acquisition Toolboximage segmentation

I've found a program online that is able to detect red through live image and i was able to stop the live video after a certain amount of time. However i would like to send the data for the red that is captured for further commands. Would using 'stats' in the code below be able to send the captured red data for further commands?
vid = videoinput('winvideos', 1);
set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorSpace', 'rgb');
vid.FrameGrabInterval = 1;
start(vid)
while (vid.FramesAcquired<=10)
      data = getsnapshot(vid);
      diff_im = imsubtract(data(:, :, 1 ), rgb2gray(data));
      diff_im = medfilt2(diff_im, [3 3]);
      diff_im = im2bw(diff_im, 0.18);
      diff_im = bwareaopen(diff_im, 300);
      bw = bwlabel(diff_im, 8);
      stats = regionprops(bw,'BoundingBox', 'Centroid');
      imshow(data)
      hold on
      for object = 1:length(stats)
          bb = stats(object).BoundingBox;
          bc = stats(object).Centroid;
          rectangle('Position', bb, 'EdgeColor', 'r', 'LineWidth', 2)
          plot(bc(1)+15, bc(2), '-m+')
      end
      hold off
  end
  stop(vid);
  flushdata(vid);
  clear all

Yes, it would. The variable "stats" is a structure array that contains all the measurements you specified, and you can send that to any other function you want, or use it in the same function.
