I am trying to extract information from the attached image of a coal sample, as for example the length and with of the fractures and the connection between them. I am using a filter and turn it into a black and white image, but have not found the right method yet, to get extract data that I can use for a statistical analysis. I have been checking the bioinformatics toolbox, which contains methods to describe the connections between biograph objects (depth first search, shortest path algorithm), but it doesn't seem to be what I am looking for. Does anyone have experience on a similar problem and could give me some useful hints?

Try the Image Processing Toolbox.

You need to spatially calibrate. See my spatial calibration demo, attached.

This is an awesome demo, thanks for that. In general it does the job, but I am looking for a way to automate the search!? I have been going down several paths but do not seem to find the right solution. Since I have a binary matrix I suppose it would be some algorithm counting all subsequent ones in an array of zeros..
