MATLAB: Undefined function or variable ‘bwskel’.

bwskelImage Processing Toolbox

Hi Guys

Is bwskel function available in MATLAB version R2016b?

I tried to use this function to obtain the skeleton of a 3D binary volume but it gives an error saying this function is undefined

B=bwskel(I);

Undefined function or variable 'bwskel'.

The bwskel() function was introduced in release 2018a according to the documentation (<-link).

As the note at the end of the documentation page for imbilatfilt states, this function was introduced in release R2018a. You will need to upgrade to R2018a or later to use it.

MATLAB: Issues with bwskel skeleton

Andrew:

After you binarized the image, there were some small holes in it that gave loops in the skeleton. I took the largest blob (to get rid of a noise speck) and then filled the holes in the remaining blob. Corrected code:

img= imread('25g 1 10 PSI 5 MMS.jpg'); %put in image directly from FLIR camer
imgray = rgb2gray(img); % turn color image to greyscale 
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(imgray, []);
% [imgray, rect] = imcrop(imgray); %opens up image, drag crop box,  double click to select, rect coorinates use for crop
BW = im2bw(imgray, 0.8); % convert to binary image 
% Take largest blob only.
BW = bwareafilt(BW, 1);
% Fill holes.
BW = imfill(BW, 'holes');
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(BW, []);
%imshow(BW)
minBranchLength = round(sum(BW(:)) / 2)
skelImage = bwskel(BW, 'MinBranchLength', minBranchLength);
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(skelImage)
g = gcf;
g.WindowState = 'maximized'
