how to change the interior pixel of a closed boundary surface to a different pixel using MATLAB?

I have a closed boundary surface of an object. i want to fill the interior which is already zero. How can i change the zero to any other digit so that i can do some mathematical operations. Regards for all cooperation of community members.

i have used the following code to handle it but i couldnt figure out.

        A = load('Boundary_closed_1s_3s.txt')
        Perimeter=bwperim(A)
        
        interior_filled = imfill(A,'holes')
        A = 3*double(A)
        interior_filled = 2*double(interior_filled)
        
        interior_filled(Perimeter)=A(Perimeter)

The above code is giving me the closed boundary surface? Could anyone guide me how to replace the interior that is already filled as zero but i want to repalce with another number number like 2.

Thanks for all guidance in advance.

The shape is not closed. See the apex at the left. Do you want to close it, like with bwconvhull()?

Answer 1

[Image Analyst]

The shape is not closed but you can close it with bwconvhull() if you're okay with the shape being a convex shape, like your rectangle.

A = load('Boundary_closed_1s_3s.txt');
A = logical(A);
subplot(2, 1, 1);
imshow(A);
interior_filled = bwconvhull(A);
subplot(2, 1, 2);
imshow(interior_filled);

Thanks Dear Image Analyst. As usual, you are always very helpful. Regards

Yopu can exclude the boundaries by indexing right?

A = interior_filled(2:end-2,2:end-2) ; 

Now you apply the given values as you have tried on A.

hi dear KSSV, thanks for your guidance. it doesnt work because arrays size will change and will give error.

fill the holes. subtract the original, and what is left will be the interiors. Multiply by constant and add to the original.

[M.S. Khan]

Thanks Walter for reply. i have zeros inside and outside the boundary surface. so multipling zero and constant will again be zero. i need to deal only the interior of the boundary.

reference resources

clear all; clc; close all;
A = load('Boundary_closed_1s_3s.txt');
b = im2bw(A);
b = imclose(b, strel('disk', 3));
b2 = imfill(b, 'holes');
b3 = logical(b2 - b);
A2 = im2uint8(mat2gray(A));
A2(b3) = 128;
figure;
imshowpair(A,A2,'montage');

please use different value, such as 64，100，128，……

Hi Dear Yani Lie, thanks for your guidance. if you see the top in image or A2, still there are some zeros which are not replaced with 128. Can we figure it out. Regards

sir，may be use the follow code

clear all; clc; close all;
A = load('Boundary_closed_1s_3s.txt');
b = im2bw(A);
b = imclose(b, strel('line', 3, -45));
b2 = imfill(b, 'holes');
b3 = logical(b2 - b);
A2 = im2uint8(mat2gray(A));
A2(b) = 0;
A2(b3) = 128;
figure;
imshowpair(A,A2,'montage');

the relevant information can be find in reference resources book

Dear Yanqi, using this method, the number of pixel of image has decreased. you replaced all pixels by 128, right. In the first code, there were 85 and 255 also. Moreover, the number of used pixels were 3818 while in the previous code, the number of pixles are 3496. Using previous code, i think, we should figure out to replace only the zeros lying inside the interior of the boundary surface by other number. Thanks for all your cooperation.

the reason is

at the sharp corner on the left, there is a gap that needs to be filled. may be can zoom in to check
