    Syntax

    RGB = insertObjectMask(I,BW)
    RGB = insertObjectMask(I,maskstack)
    RGB = insertObjectMask(___,Name,Value)

    Description

    example

    RGB = insertObjectMask(I,BW) inserts a mask BW into the specified image I and returns the result as a truecolor image RGB.

    example

    RGB = insertObjectMask(I,maskstack) inserts a set of masks maskstack into the specified image I and returns the result as a truecolor image RGB.

    RGB = insertObjectMask(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments in addition to the input arguments in previous syntaxes.

    Examples

    Open Live Script

    Read an image into the workspace.

    I = imread('visionteam1.jpg');

    Load a stack of binary masks.

    load('visionteam1Maskstack.mat')

    Insert the masks into the image.

    RGB = insertObjectMask(I,maskstack,'LineColor','white','LineWidth',2);

    Display the image with the masks inserted.

imshow(RGB)

    Open Live Script

    Read an image into the workspace. 

    I = imread('visionteam1.jpg');

    Load a stack of binary mask images.

    load('visionteam1Maskstack.mat');

    Insert the masks into the image, specifying a unique color for each mask.

    numMasks = size(maskstack,3);
RGB = insertObjectMask(I,maskstack,'Color',lines(numMasks));

    Display the image with the inserted masks.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Input image, specified as a truecolor (RGB) image, m-by-n-by-3 array, or a grayscale image, m-by-n array.

    Data Types: single | double | int16 | uint8 | uint16

    Input mask image, specified as an m-by-n logical matrix.

    Data Types: logical

    Stack of mask images, specified as an m-by-n-by-P logical array, where P is the total number of masks in the stack.

    maskstack has the same width and height as I.

    Data Types: logical

    Name-Value Pair Arguments

    Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

    Example: RGB = insertObjectMask(I,maskstack, 'LineColor','white','LineWidth',2);

    Color of each mask, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Color' and one of these values:

    • P-by-3 matrix of RGB triplets, where P is the total number of masks

    • P-element vector of MATLAB® ColorSpec names

    • 1-by-3 RGB triplet or scalar MATLAB ColorSpec name, specifying the color to use for all masks

    Example: 'red'

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | logical | char | string

    Opacity of mask, specified as the comma separated pair consisting of 'Opacity' and a scalar value in the range [0 1]. The value 1 makes the mask completely opaque and the value 0 makes the mask completely transparent.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Color of mask borders, specified as the comma separated pair consisting of 'LineColor' and one of these values:

    • 'auto' — 'LineColor' uses the same value or values as 'Color'

    • P-by-3 matrix of RGB triplets, where P is the total number of masks.

    • P-element vector of MATLAB ColorSpec names

    • 1-by-3 RGB triplet or scalar MATLAB ColorSpec name, specifying the color to use for all masks.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | logical | char | string

    Opacity of the mask borders, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LineOpacity' and a scalar value in the range of [0 1].

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Width of mask borders, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LineWidth' and a positive scalar. Specify 'LineWidth' in pixel units.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Output image, returned as a truecolor image of class uint8, with the same m-by-n dimensions as I.

    Tips

    • When masks overlap and the same pixel is in more than one mask, maskstack(:,:,i) takes precedence over maskstack(:,:,j), where i < j.

    • For better performance, set 'LineOpacity' to 0 to disable drawing the edges.
