Answer 1

We as readers have no reason to expect that the image you are reading is at least as large as the size you are expecting it to be.

But I suspect that when you coded

binary_image = binary_image(120:400,20:250);

that you that though you were coding x range and then y range; in MATLAB, images have y range and then x range. You might need

binary_image = binary_image(20:250, 120:400);

Hi Madhur Dheer, I think so, you have got answer by this time. But still... You can send the input file :'101_1.tif' or else check the size of 101_1.tif using M=size(101_1.tif) and after getting that, you have to update the values in "binary_image = binary_image(120:400,20:250);" (which is in line 5) crop the row and column within the size that M returns. All the best :)
