How can I have different ROIs (Region Of Interest) in a image using imellipse?

I am making a GUI in Matlab to show an image and select a ROI on it. Please see the following code:

clear all

close all

clc

a=imread('rice.png');

I=imshow (a);

e = imellipse(gca,[]);

BW = createMask(e,I);

ROI = a;

ROI(BW == 0) = 0;

figure,imshow (ROI);

Now, I want have different ROIs from the first image (rice.png), by dragging and resizing the ROI on the image and without running the code again. Could you please help me in this regard? Thank you very much

Do you want multiple ellipse ROIs on the image simultaneously, or do you just want to use one ellipse at a time?

hello azim

this code will help you, do change for for loop for the number of iterations you want

clear all
close all
clc

a=imread('rice.png');

figure(1)
I=imshow(a);
drawnow

ROI_main(1:size(a,1),1:size(a,2))=0;
ROI_main=uint8(ROI_main);

for i=1:5
    e = imellipse(gca,[]);

      BW = createMask(e,I);
      ROI = a;
      ROI(BW == 0) = 0;

      ROI_main=(ROI_main .* uint8(~BW)) + ROI;
      figure(2)
      imshow (ROI_main);
      drawnow

      figure(1)
  end
  figure(2)
