Hi Nursyahirah

When one zooms in it turns out that KSSV answer includes a lot of grey pixels wrapping the thick white dots that shouldn't be considered aprt of the pixels.

KSSV code renders a white area of

..
    0     0    67
       0     0    67
       0     0    67
       0     5    63
      73    73   122
  iwant =
     0.155080657527910

.

KSSV says the white dots cover 15% of the image.

Yet, when we binarize the image

A1=A(:,:,1);
A2=imbinarize(A1);

imshow(A1)

figure(2);imshow(A2)

px_nz=nnz(A2)
total_px=numel(A2)

px_nz/total_px

px_nz =
       23093
total_px =
      399582
ans =
   0.057792893573785

.

the image only has a 5.7% of white pixels.

.

Comment: Since the question clearly mentions 'full image' there's no need the crop the image.

Hello...when you save the image....the image has white background in all the corners...so I included the command to crop it...it is a commonsense that the user wants the ratio from whole image ...not a small part of it...

Answer 2

[KSSV]

I = imread('ED.png') ;   % REad the image 

I = imcrop(I) ;    % crop the required part 
I = rgb2gray(I) ;   % convert to gray image 
whitepixels = nnz(I) ;
totalpixels = numel(I) ;
iwant = whitepixels/totalpixels

Hi KSSV

I just tried your code cropping the entire image and it returns

..

    0     0    67
       0     0    67
       0     0    67
       0     5    63
      73    73   122
  iwant =
     0.155080657527910

does it look to you that the white thick dots are anywhere close to a 15% of the whole image?

[KSSV]

Huummhh...sounds legitimate....what's the solution?

now how do i display the percentage on my gui?

[John BG]

what do you mean by the percentage of your gui?

the percentage is already

amount_white_px/total_amount

use the amount directly, or x100.

Convert it to string with num2str() to use it in any command like: title xlabel ylabel or text, to add as comment directly on the screen?

Or has your gui a specific field? then plug the result to the gui field variable.

If you post another question asking how to key in this found percentage into your gui, and you attach your gui or a sample of it, I will show you how to use this result in your gui.

How do you want to display it? In a static text label? In a table control? Over the image in the text overlay?
