Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Hello, I would like to detect white points in real time in ip camera, but i can't manage with this error:

Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Error in Vision (line 40)

vidIn = htextinsCent(vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [((centroid(object,1))-6)

((centroid(object,2))-9)]);

...(length(bbox(:,1))) this section has arguments from 1 to 10.

Camera properly connects with Matlab and I can preview images captured from video.

The video is in 1080x1920.

Matlab Code:

thresh = 0.5;

rgbFrame = (zeros(1080,1920));

cam = ipcam('rtsp://camera_ip/video1.main-video','login','password');

hblob = vision.BlobAnalysis('AreaOutputPort', false, ... % Set blob analysis handling

'CentroidOutputPort', true, ...

'BoundingBoxOutputPort', true', ...

'MinimumBlobArea', 600, ...

'MaximumCount', 10);

hshapeinsWhiteBox = vision.ShapeInserter('BorderColor', 'Custom', ...

'CustomBorderColor', [1 0 0]);

htextins = insertText(rgbFrame, [500 500],'Number of White Object(s): %2d', 'FontSize', 18, ...

'BoxColor','red', 'BoxOpacity', 0.4);

htextinsCent = insertText(rgbFrame,[100 100],'text', 'FontSize', 18, ...

'BoxColor','red', 'BoxOpacity', 0.4);

hVideoIn = vision.VideoPlayer('Name', 'Final Video', ... % Output video player

'Position', [100 100 1920+20 1080+20]);

nFrame = 0;

while(nFrame < 100)

rgbFrame = snapshot(cam); % Acquire single frame

bwredFrame = im2bw(rgbFrame(:,:,1),thresh); % obtain the white component from red layer

bwgreenFrame = im2bw(rgbFrame(:,:,2),thresh); % obtain the white component from green layer

bwblueFrame = im2bw(rgbFrame(:,:,3),thresh); % obtain the white component from blue layer

binFrame = bwredFrame & bwgreenFrame & bwblueFrame; % get the common region

binFrame = medfilt2(binFrame, [1 1]);

[centroid, bbox] = step(hblob, binFrame); % Get the centroids and bounding boxes of the blobs

rgbFrame(1:15,1:215,:) = 0; % put a black region on the output stream

vidIn = hshapeinsWhiteBox(rgbFrame, bbox); % Instert the white box

for object = 1:1:(length(bbox(:,1))) % Write the corresponding centroids

vidIn = htextinsCent(vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [((centroid(object,1))-6) ((centroid(object,2))-9)]);

end

end

Below is the data I get from the program until the error occurs:

Thanks for the help!

I believe the issue here is that many of the values of vidIn are 0, which is not a valid index of htextinsCent. In MATLAB, your indices must be logical, or integer values >0. bigger picture, I'm not sure what you are trying to do with your for loop. Did you mean to be calling a function instead of indexing an array?

Also, I think the insertText should be performed after you have captured your snapshot. See this example.

[Bartosz]

I created an additional loop to check if there are zeros in the matrix VidIn and converts them to ones, I then received an error that in the for loop :

Index in position 2 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Error in Vision (line 69)

vidIn = htextinsCent(vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [((centroid(object,1))-6)

((centroid(object,2))-9)]);

This for loop is used to place centroids on objects that can move and the number of objects can change in time, however, there is a limit to how many objects can be detected.

[Walter Roberson]

htextinsCent is not a function !!

[Bartosz]

for object = 1:1:(length(bbox(:,1))) % Write the corresponding centroids

vidIn = step(htextinsCent,vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [centroid(object,1)-6 centroid(object,2)-9]);

end

ok, but then:

Error using ss (line 349)

The "A" and "E" matrices must be square.

Error in step (line 113)

sys = ss(a,b,c,d);

Error in Vision (line 72)

vidIn = step(htextinsCent,vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [centroid(object,1)-6 centroid(object,2)-9]);

I did't use the "step" function for reason this error and because in the information about the "step" function there is:

[Walter Roberson]

Centroids are not generally integers.

htextinsCent is not a function: it is an array that results from a call to insertText

[Bartosz]

Changing the data type from double to unit16 caused the error to change to:

Index in position 3 exceeds array bounds (must not exceed 3).

Error in Vision (line 72)

vidIn = htextinsCent(vidIn, [centroid(object, 1) centroid(object, 2)], [centroid(object,1)-6 centroid(object,2)-9]);

[Walter Roberson]

htextinsCent is not a function, it is an array resulting from the earlier call to insertText. You are trying to index the array at locations determined by the contents of an image, together with some centroids. The array is RGB (because insertText returns RGB), so the third dimension is 3, but you are trying to index the third dimension at [centroid(object,1)-6 centroid(object,2)-9] which is likely to be greater than 3.
