Image Processing Toolbox  Analyzing Images  Image Processing
Toolbox provides a comprehensive suite of reference-standard
algorithms and visualization functions for image analysis tasks
such as statistical analysis, feature extraction, and property
measurement.  Statistical Functions  Statistical functions let
you analyze the general characteristics of an image by:
Correcting Nonuniform Illumination Enhancing an image and
computing statistics of segmented objects using REGIONPROPS.
Identifying Round Objects Thresholding an image and calculating
measurements of objects.  Edge-Detection Algorithms  Edge-
detection algorithms let you identify object boundaries in an
image. These algorithms include the Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts,
Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian methods. The powerful Canny
method can detect true weak edges without being fooled by noise.
Image Segmentation Algorithms  Image segmentation algorithms
determine region boundaries in an image. You can explore many
different approaches to image segmenta
