Efficient Meniscus Line Detection in MATLAB - Simple and Automated Method

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on efficient methods for detecting the meniscus in images using MATLAB. A user shares their current approach, which involves creating a binary file and looping through pixels to identify the first pixel in a specified region. They suggest utilizing the steep color gradient of the red fluid as a key feature for detection. The conversation emphasizes the need for a more automated solution to improve accuracy and efficiency in meniscus detection.

Hi PF!

Do any of you know a good way to detect the meniscus of the attached image (in MATLAB)? I have a very ghetto method, and would like something more automated.

Thanks for your help!

Perhaps detect the steep color gradient of the Red fluid.
 
I actually ended up creating a binary file as the picture and then made a loop to detect the first pixel in a certain region. Seems to work well. Thanks for the reply!
