Hello all,

My problem is the follwoing, lets assume i have an image that has multiple people (i.e. two people standing), i want to manually extract the people. I want to do it manually like i am not looking for something fancy or automatic. I just want to view the image then move my mouse around the area, and the output is the selected regions.

Looking forward for your answer

Maybe you could try, or adapt, my freehand masking demo:


% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
% (The line of code below is from Brett Shoelson of The Mathworks.)
if(~isdeployed)
cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
end
clc; % Clear command window.
clear; % Delete all variables.
close all; % Close all figure windows except those created by imtool.
imtool close all; % Close all figure windows created by imtool.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 20;

% Read in standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
grayImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Original Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
set(gcf, 'Position', get(0,'Screensize')); % Maximize figure.
message = sprintf('Left click and hold to begin drawing.\nLift mouse
button to finish');
uiwait(msgbox(message));
hFH = imfreehand();

% Create a binary image ("mask") from the ROI object.
binaryImage = hFH.createMask();
% Display the freehand mask.
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(binaryImage);
title('Binary mask of the region', 'FontSize', fontSize);

% Get coordinates of the boundary of the freehand drawn region.
structBoundaries = bwboundaries(binaryImage);
xy=structBoundaries{1}; % Get n by 2 array of x,y coordinates.
x = xy(:, 2); % Columns.
y = xy(:, 1); % Rows.
subplot(2, 2, 1); % Plot over original image.
hold on; % Don't blow away the image.
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 2);

% Burn line into image by setting it to 255 wherever the mask is true.
burnedImage = grayImage;
burnedImage(binaryImage) = 255;
% Display the image with the mask "burned in."
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(burnedImage);
title('New image with mask burned into image', 'FontSize', fontSize);

% Mask the image and display it.
% Will keep only the part of the image that's inside the mask, zero
outside mask.
maskedImage = grayImage;
maskedImage(~binaryImage) = 0;
subplot(2, 2, 4);
imshow(maskedImage);
title('Masked Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);

% Calculate the mean
meanGL = mean(maskedImage(binaryImage));
message = sprintf('Mean value within drawn area = %.3f', meanGL);
msgbox(message);

Thank you. It worked perfectly and does exactly what i am looking for.
