roimask

Get ROI table mask

Syntax

tbl = roimask(msk)

[tbl,numroi,cats] = roimask(msk)

Description

tbl = roimask(msk) returns a region-of-interest (ROI) table mask, tbl, based on the source and properties in msk.

[tbl,numroi,cats] = roimask(msk) also returns numroi, a vector containing the number of regions found for each of the categories listed in cats.

Examples

ROI Table Mask from Binary Sequences

Generate an 18-by-2 mask of binary sequences. Use the mask to create a signalMask object and label the categories as A and B. Extract an ROI table mask from the object.

binSeqs = logical([ ...
    0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1;
    1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0]');

m = signalMask(binSeqs,'Categories',["A" "B"]);

roiTbl = roimask(m)

roiTbl=4×2 table
    ROILimits    Value
    _________    _____

     1     2       B  
     5     7       A  
    10    12       B  
    15    18       A  

Extend the regions of interest by one sample to the left and right.

m.RightExtension = 1;
m.LeftExtension = 1;

roiTbl = roimask(m)

roiTbl=4×2 table
    ROILimits    Value
    _________    _____

     1     3       B  
     4     8       A  
     9    13       B  
    14    19       A  

ROI Table Mask from Categorical Sequence

Generate a 16-sample categorical sequence mask with two categories, A and B. Specify as missing those samples that do not belong to A or B. Use the mask to create a signalMask object. Extract an ROI table mask from the object.

catSeq = categorical(["A" "A" "A" missing missing "B" "B" ...
  missing missing "B" "B" missing "B" "A" "A" "A"]);

m = signalMask(catSeq);

roiTbl = roimask(m)

roiTbl=5×2 table
    ROILimits    Value
    _________    _____

     1     3       A  
     6     7       B  
    10    11       B  
    13    13       B  
    14    16       A  

Output a list of categories and the number of regions belonging to each category.

[~,nroi,cats] = roimask(m)

nroi = 2×1

     2
     3

cats = 2×1 string
    "A"
    "B"

Merge same-category regions separated by only one sample.

m.MergeDistance = 1;

roiTbl = roimask(m)

roiTbl=4×2 table
    ROILimits    Value
    _________    _____

     1     3       A  
     6     7       B  
    10    13       B  
    14    16       A  

Input Arguments

msk — Signal mask

signalMask object

Signal mask, specified as a signalMask object.

Example: signalMask(table([2 4;6 7],["male" "female"]')) specifies a signal mask with a three-sample male region and a two-sample female region.

Example: signalMask(categorical(["" "male" "male" "male" "" "female" "female" ""]',["male" "female"])) specifies a signal mask with a three-sample male region and a two-sample female region.

Example: signalMask([0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0;0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0]','Categories',["male" "female"]) specifies a signal mask with a three-sample male region and a two-sample female region.

Output Arguments

tbl — ROI table mask

table

ROI table mask, returned as a table.

• If SampleRate is specified, the region limits in tbl are expressed in seconds.

• If RightExtension is greater than zero and SourceType is specified as 'categoricalSequence' or 'binarySequences', the region limits in tbl may go beyond the length of the sequence.

numroi — Number of regions

vector of integers

Number of regions found for each of the categories in cats, returned as a vector of integers.

cats — Category list

vector of strings

Category list, returned as a vector of strings.
