why X and Y coordinates must have the same size ?

13 views (last 30 days)
hello,
I have an image and a shape and I need to clip the image based on the coordinates of the shape but when I do this I am having an error says: x and y must be the same size how can I make them equal? or any idea of solving this issue please ?
Thanks

I suggest using poly2mask() to create mask (binary image) that you can then multiply by the original image to get the clipped image. You might always want find the bounding box of the mask and use that to crop the result.
Your x and y coordinates will need to be the same length for poly2mask.
That might involve deliberately repeating some coordinates. For example to express y ranging from 10 to 20 at x = 7, coming from (0,0), then you cannot just code x = [0 7], y = [0 10 20] -- each y must be matched with an x. You would instead code x = [0 7 7], y = [0 10 20]

my problem is that the geotiff image is very large so I need to clip it first based on the boundingBox of the shape to make it smaller and then apply the function inpolygon() but I couldn't find a way to clip it and make a new geotiff image if you know how to do this could you help me please?
Thanks

"Expecting input number 1, X, to be finite"
is an error you are getting because you are feeding in a polygon that has NaN inside it, to mark the end of a segment such as to move over to draw a lake or island. You need to break up your inputs to poly2mask, creating several masks and or'ing them together.
