Hai,I have an image of the fist which is captured with a black background.The image is an IR (infra red) image captured with a webcamera converted to work in IR .The picture has captured the veins under the skin.What i want to do is just retain the fist and get rid of the surrounding black area.As in my region of interest is just the fist.How do i do this ? I have done something but am just getting a black image for this:
a=imread('1.jpg');
figure;
imshow(a);
b=rgb2gray(a);
figure;
imshow(b);
[j,k]=size(b);
for g=1:j
for f=1:k
if b(j,k)>0.06
c(j,k)=0;
else
c(j,k)=1;
end
end
end
figure,imshow(c);
this is the image: http://lastqueen21.blogspot.com/2011/04/image.html Can somebody please tell me the code for what I want ?? Thank you so much :(

I would do this using my shrinkWrap function:
I = imread('answers421.jpg'); %answers421.jpg is your image
M = shrinkWrap(rgb2gray(I)); %map of hand
IjustHand = bsxfun(@times,uint8(M),I); %apply map to rgb image
imshow(IjustHand) %view
EDIT to show result:

What version of ML do you have? Did you change ANYTHING when you downloaded it? It's in working form, to the best of my knowledge, and others have used it so I'm guessing there's something quirky with how you downloaded it.
