Steve on Image Processing

Are you looking for help making an image processing GUI with MATLAB? There are many resources available.

First, the MATLAB documentation and The MathWorks web site has a lot of helpful information, including:

• "Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)"
• The Handle Graphics Property Browser
• The MATLAB product demos include a video on building GUIs using GUIDE.
• "Building GUIs with Modular Tools" in the Image Processing Toolbox Users Guide
• Loren's News & Notes article "Programming Patterns – Nested Functions in MATLAB" has some GUI programming information
• For GUI debugging tips, see Doug's recorded coaching video on his Pick of the Week blog.

Second, there are guides written by people outside The MathWorks. For example:

• Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB
• Mastering MATLAB 7

These aren't the only ones; see the MATLAB and Simulink Based Books page for more. Or do a web search to find the many MATLAB GUI tutorials out there.

Finally, I suggest that you take a look at the image GUIs written by other MATLAB users and submitted to the MATLAB Central File Exchange. There's an entire category devoted to "Image Processing - GUI, Display, and Annotation."

Good luck with your project. And if you have suggestions for other resource links to add to this page, please let me know.
