How to adjust 'measured distance' on a binary image

1 view (last 30 days)
I have code for radius and height measurements for spray images. This code is overestimating the spray cloud height (i.e., rectangle height). I want to measure spray cloud height with out imcoming spray influence. I am attaching my code and reference image here. the height I want to measure is shown in the below picture with arrows. Thanks in advance

You can sum the white pixels horizontally and then threshold it at some percentage of the max width
verticalProfile = sum(mask, 2);
maxWidth = max(verticalProfile);
percentage = 0.5; % Adjust to take more or less of the blob.
topLine = find(verticalProfile > percentage * maxWidth, 1, 'first')
bottomLine = find(verticalProfile > percentage * maxWidth, 1, 'last')
% Draw lines there
yline(topLine, 'Color', 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);
yline(bottomLine, 'Color', 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);

clc; clear all; close all;
B = imread('https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/853535/binary_image.jpg');
B = im2bw(B);
figure; subplot(3,1,1)
imshow(B,'Border','tight')
title('Step 1')
B2 = bwareafilt(B,1); % select the largest component with bwareafilt
subplot(3,1,2)
imshow(B2),
title('Step 2')
widthIndex = any(B2);
horizontalPixelWidth = find(widthIndex,1,'last')-find(widthIndex,1,'first');
B3 = imerode(B2,strel('line',10,0));
% use sum for every row
cs = sum(B3, 2);
mcs = max(cs);
inds = find(cs>mcs*0.3);
subplot(3,1,3)
imshow(B3)
title('Step 3')
set(gcf,'Visible',true)
verticalPixelHeight = find(any(B2,2),1,'last') - inds(1);
figure; imshow(B)
title('Result')
hold on
rectangle('Position', ...
[find(widthIndex,1,'first'), inds(1),...
horizontalPixelWidth,verticalPixelHeight],...
'EdgeColor','r','LineWidth',2 )
