How to calculate spray cone angle?

Hi everyone,
I am doing experiments and capturing the spray pattern using high speed camera. I need to measure spray angle, diameter distribution and velocity of the spray. I have attached one of the images from 1000 images of spray pattern. For calculating spray angle, I have used the matlab code mentioned in this link https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2003472-how-to-calculate-spray-cone-angle . But I could not get the correct spray angle. Could anyone provide the code to measure spray angle. I have attached the results which I have obtained.
And also, with the images is it possible to obtain diameter distribution of the particles and the velocity of the sprayed particles. If it is possible, please provide code for the same.

First of all, before doing any image processing, you need to get better pictures. There is not enough contrast between your spray and your background. I suggest trying using a black velvet backdrop for your background. Then use focused/colimated lighting from both sides to illuminate the spray, or use non-colimated light but have baffles in place so as to not illuminate the background. Once you have good images, it should be fairly straightforward.

load Image
BW = imfill( bwareafilt(imclose(entropyfilt(im2gray(Image))>4.5,strel('disk',5)),1),'holes');
BW=bwareafilt(~imclose(~BW,ones(1,35)),1);
imshow(labeloverlay(Image,BW,'Colormap','hot','Transp',0.7));
BW=BW(1:floor(height(BW)/2),:);
BW=BW(any(BW,2),:); N=height(BW);
[~,J1]=max(BW,[],2);
[~,J2]=min(cummax(BW,2,'reverse'),[],2);
p1=polyfit(1:N,J1,1);
p2=polyfit(1:N,J2,1);
angle=abs(atand(p1(1))) + abs(atand(p2(1)))
