I have undertaken a project on the automation of a Dockyard. I plan to employ image processing to detect the entry of a ship as well as to find out the position of the containers on the ship and transmit the same to a microcontroller using serial communication.
My algo involves using line detection method to detect the boxes. If a line is detected, the box is present and so on.
As I am relatively new to MATLAB, can someone please help me with code ? I don't ask for a ready-to-use code....but kindly point out the theory I need to read to implement the serial communication part and how to tell the microcontroller that the box has been located.

a hint:

help serial/fopen; % <- and look at its siblings...

I know you didn't ask for help on the image processing part, but if
you want that, no one can really help you until you post some photos.
Presumably you have some kind of aerial photos of the ship so that you
can see the boxes sitting on the ship, the outline of the ship, it's
direction of travel, etc. Maybe you can post the photos to http://drop.io.
