How To Find Distance Between Centroids ????

Hey Guyz,

I am working on the project Titled as "Text Detection and Recognition". I have a question about finding the distance between two centriods. How to find it ????? What is the possible approach of finding it ??

Regards and Thanks in advance Cheers !

You can use the Pythagorean theorem, or the functions sqrt() or hypot(). If you don't even have the centroid locations yet, then see my Image Segmentation Tutorial: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=authorid%3A31862

So you already have two centroids with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) then the distance formula would work right?

distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2);
