To emphasize the symmetric parts of an image in MATLAB, we can use a filter that detects symmetry. One approach is to use a convolution filter that computes the difference between the image and a mirror-reversed version of itself. This can be done using the filter2
function.
Here's some sample code that demonstrates how to apply such a filter:
main.m620 chars22 lines
This code loads an example image, defines a horizontal symmetric filter, applies the filter using convolution, and scales the output to the range [0, 1]. The resulting image is a symmetry map that highlights the symmetric parts of the input image.
