Filter objects from image based on their sizes.
Returns a logical matrix with the objects of bw filtered based
on their area (defined by thei number of pixels). This function is
equivalent to bwpropfilt (bw, "Area", …)
.
To filter objects with a value on a specific interval, range must be
a two-element vector with the interval [low high]
(values are inclusive).
Alternatively, a scalar n will select the objects with the N highest
values. The keep option defaults to "largest"
but can also
be set to "smallest"
to select the N objects with lower values.
The last optional argument, conn, can be a connectivity matrix, or
the number of elements connected to the center (see conndef
).
