How to calculate surface of specific color?












3














I have black-and white picture like this
enter image description here
Can anyone tell me is it possible to calculate surface that black color occupies in this picture, so I know what's the percentage that black color has in whole picture.

    Nitpick: you don't seek a surface (like a hyperboloid of one sheet), but an area (like 1.2 square millimetres).

After reading Michael E2's answer, I realized that one can simply do



1 - Mean[img]



0.106198




There are several other solutions as well. There is a function called ImageLevels that counts the channels:



img = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/PdMDk.png"];

levels = ImageLevels[img]



{{0, 521982}, {1, 4393218}}




levels[[1, 2]]/(levels[[1, 2]] + levels[[2, 2]]) // N



0.106198




One could also use



neg = ColorNegate[img];

Total[neg, 2]/(Total[img, 2] + Total[neg, 2])



0.106198




or



{w, h} = ImageDimensions[img];

1 - Total[img, 2]/(w h)



0.106198




One could also explicitly get the matrix of image pixels:



pixels = Flatten@ImageData[img];

1 - Total[pixels]/Length[pixels] // N



0.106198

    Just use ImageHistogram with two levels:



    ImageHistogram[myImage,2, FrameTicks->True]


    enter image description here



    or



    Dimensions[SplitBy[ImageData[myImage], First]][[2;;3]]


    (*



    {886, 1342}



    *)

    For a binary image:

1 - ImageMeasurements[img, "MeanIntensity"]
