Cropping Image in Rectangular, Circular, Square and Triangular Form Using MATLAB

The document discusses different methods for cropping images into various shapes using MATLAB. It describes how to crop images in rectangular, circular, square, and triangular forms. For each shape, it provides the mathematical formulas or techniques used. Examples are given of original images and the same images cropped into the different shapes. The purpose of cropping images into various shapes is explained, such as for face recognition or red eye detection.

CROPPING IMAGE IN RECTANGULAR, CIRCULAR, SQUARE AND TRIANGULAR


FORM USING MATLAB

Abstract: Image Processing is technique by which we can process any image to extract the real information i.e.
useful information from the image. Sometimes we require some specific part of the image to process and for it we
have to select that portion only. This technique of selecting useful portion is called cropping.

1. INTRODUCTION A. Rectangular Crop: it is easiest to crop image in


An image may be defined as a two dimensional rectangular form because we have to just select two

which we have image as a input and we process it by center of the circular form in which we have to crop the

by image processing is color correction, compression Where h and k are the x- and y-coordinates of the

image cropping.
Two broad categories in image processing
includes the modification in quality of picture like
color, sharpness etc. and other is resizing like cropping.
In first type of processing we need to modify the
amplitude level and in the second category type
processing we select or reject some pixels value which
are not desired. Cropping an image means creating a
new image from a part of an original image. It is real
important task as it may be needed to extract some
specific part of an image or to change aspect ratio of an
image, as aspect ratio is major concern in film making.
It is generally used to remove the unwanted or
irrelevant detail from the photo. C. Square Crop: To crop any image in square form
we have to define two points on the image for corner

example if we have to use face recognition and we have technique to crop image in triangular form. For
to scan only retina of the eye which is also in circular cropping image in triangular form we check pixels of

3. CONCLUSION:
Cropping in different shape is quite important, for e.g
in case of red eye detection and in another example if
we use face recognition system then it should
automatically select the desired portion of the face to
recognize it like retina of the eye. We can use image
processing by MATLAB to crop any image in any
shape.
