detect cells in an image in matlab

To detect cells in an image using MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Read the image using the imread function:

main.m
    I = imread('image_file.jpg');
34 chars
2 lines

2. Convert the image to grayscale using the rgb2gray function:

main.m
    grayImage = rgb2gray(I);
29 chars
2 lines

3. Apply a median filter to remove any noise in the image:

main.m
    filteredImage = medfilt2(grayImage);
41 chars
2 lines

4. Apply a local adaptive threshold to the image using the adaptthresh and imbinarize functions to convert the image to a binary image:

main.m
    threshold = adaptthresh(filteredImage, 0.5);
    binaryImage = imbinarize(filteredImage, threshold);

3 lines

5. Remove any small objects from the binary image using the bwareaopen function:

main.m
    cleanedImage = bwareaopen(binaryImage, 100);
49 chars
2 lines

6. Identify the cells in the image using the regionprops function:

main.m
    cellProperties = regionprops(cleanedImage, 'BoundingBox');
63 chars
2 lines

7. Finally, draw rectangles around the cells using the rectangle function:

main.m
    figure;
    imshow(I);
    hold on;
    for i = 1:numel(cellProperties)
        rectangle('Position', cellProperties(i).BoundingBox, 'EdgeColor', 'g', 'LineWidth', 2);
    end
    hold off;

This will display the original image with a green rectangle around each detected cell.
