MATLAB makes image processing easy and powerful using the Image Processing Toolbox. You can perform operations like image enhancement, filtering, segmentation, edge detection, object tracking, and more.

Here’s a basic workflow:

  1. Read the image:

img = imread('image.jpg'); imshow(img);
  1. Convert to grayscale (if needed):

gray = rgb2gray(img); imshow(gray);
  1. Apply filtering (e.g., Gaussian blur):

blurred = imgaussfilt(gray, 2); imshow(blurred);
  1. Detect edges (e.g., Canny method):

edges = edge(gray, 'Canny'); imshow(edges);
  1. Segment objects using thresholding or region growing:

bw = imbinarize(gray); imshow(bw);
  1. Label and count objects:

labeled = bwlabel(bw); stats = regionprops(labeled, 'Area''BoundingBox');

MATLAB also supports:

  • Real-time image acquisition (e.g., webcam input)

  • Image classification using deep learning (CNNs)

  • Feature extraction (e.g., corners, blobs, textures)
