Placing a Title on Bounding Box

I would like to be able to add the title 'Defect' to my bounding box below. I have seen this done in many other applications such as object tracking. But I cannot seem to get it to work. Also, could this be done for multiple bounding boxes. Here is the code I have sof the bounding boxes:

%% Display Bounding Box

 figure, imshow(DifferenceOf2), 
title('Subtraction of Dialated Edge Template'),
[L ,Num] = bwlabel(DifferenceOf2);    

 stats = regionprops(DifferenceOf2, 'basic');

 stats(1).Area;,  ..., stats(end).Area;
    stats.Area

 allArea = [stats.Area];

        s  = regionprops(DifferenceOf2, 'all');
        s(1)

        centroids = cat(2, s.Centroid);

 hold on

 plot(centroids(:,1), centroids(:,2), 'r*')
        for n=1: length(s)
          rectangle('Position', s(n).BoundingBox, 'EdgeColor', 'g', 'LineWidth',2), title('Detected Defect')

      end
        hold off

.

I would like have something like the figure below. I would rather it display the area and/or centroid of the defect as opposed to just 'Defect'.

Please and Thank you for your help.

Instead of the title command, consider using text. You can pin the text to some x,y location, then align the text around the pinning point by 'verticalalignment' and 'horizontalalginment' options.

Thank you for your help! I was able to get the text to appear in my figure, and changed it to red. I just used the values from the centroid for the X and Y values.

 hold on
         plot(centroids(:,1), centroids(:,2), 'r*')
        for n=1: length(s)
          rectangle('Position', s(n).BoundingBox, 'EdgeColor', 'g', 'LineWidth',2), title('Defected Detect')
        H= text( centroids(:,1) +5, centroids(:,2),'Thank you Chad Greene! ');
         set(gcf,'DefaultTextColor','red')
      end
        hold off

Great, glad it works. Just a note, you don't need to change the text color of the whole figure if you don't want to. You could change the color of just that text bit by

H= text(centroids(:,1) +5, centroids(:,2),'You''re welcome Amanda Johnson','color','red','fontsize',44);

or even

H= text(centroids(:,1) +5, centroids(:,2),'You''re welcome Amanda Johnson');
set(H,'color','red','fontsize',44)

What you are looking for is either annotation. You can also you sprintf to get the string formatted with the information you want. For example,

str = sprintf('Defect at (%0.2f,%0.2f)',32.32443,1.1233)
annotation('textbox',[0.2,0.4,0.1,0.1],'String',str)

For your case, you can the the [x y width height] (given in my example as [0.2,0.4,0.1,0.1]) information for the annotation from your bounding box data.

Take a look at the documentation for annotation here

[Christopher Berry]

Chad's answer of text will also work in place of annotation, but using sprintf will be helpful in either case.

[Amanda Johnson]

Thank you as well Christopher! I got this solved about the same time you posted a solution.

[Amanda Johnson]

oh... but I may look into doint it this way as well.

[Amanda Johnson]

hey hey hey!! making progress... Thank you!

 hold on
         plot(centroids(:,1), centroids(:,2), 'r*')
         for n=1: length(s)
          rectangle('Position', s (n).BoundingBox, 'EdgeColor', 'g', 'LineWidth',2), title('Defected Detect')
         H= text( centroids(:,1) +5, centroids(:,2), 'Thanks Christopher Berry...  This is the actual Centroid! ');
         set(gcf,'DefaultTextColor','red');

    str = sprintf('Defect at (%0.2f,%0.2f)',centroids(:,1), centroids(:,2))
    annotation('textbox',[0.5,0.4,0.1,0.1],'String',str)

      end
        hold off

Haha, I like your text :)
