Last time, I introduced the idea of a regional maximum. Today, I want to add a concept that makes the regional maximum more useful: suppressing very small local maxima, possibly present only because... read more >>

A recent algorithm discussion on the Image Processing Toolbox development team reminded me of something I originally wanted to do a long time ago: explain imregionalmax and some related operations.... read more >>

The functions meshgrid and repmat have a long and rich history in MATLAB. Today, I'll try to convince you to use them less.meshgridThe function meshgrid is typically used to take a vector of... read more >>

Today, I want to convince you to use imbinarize instead of im2bw.Background: I recently saw some data suggesting that many Image Processing Toolbox users are still using im2bw, an old function that... read more >>

Some of us at MathWorks like to share our "NaN sightings." Here is an example to show what I mean. This is a screenshot of the tuner/metronome app that I use when practicing music. One day, I was a... read more >>

Recently, I was talking with MathWorks writer Jessica Bernier about the reference page for the imresize function. Jessica pointed out that we don't have an example that shows how to use your own... read more >>

I have published more than 560 blog posts here since 2006, and I estimate that about 98% of them started out as MATLAB scripts.Recently, I've started writing my blog posts as live scripts. Live... read more >>

Today's blog post comes from planning one topic, but then taking a sharp left turn and doing something else completely. I was thinking about writing something related to meshgrid, and so I was... read more >>

In this post, I'll explore how imshowpair and imfuse work.Reason: I was curious.Last month, I wrote about registering several hand-held photographs together. In that post, I used imshowpair several... read more >>
