How to write frames into video after applying bounding box ?

I have a video file from where I need to track an object in each frame. I have successfully done that using (rectangle('Position',[st.BoundingBox(1),st.BoundingBo). I have total 300 frames from that video and I need to write the images containing bounding box within the for loop.

for k=1: nframes

. . .. . .. .. .. . .. . .. .. . . .. .. . .

obj=bwareafilt(~dilated1, 1, 'largest');

figure(1);

imshow(I);

hold on

st = regionprops(obj, 'BoundingBox' );

BB = st(1).BoundingBox;

K=rectangle('Position',[st.BoundingBox(1),st.BoundingBox(2),st.BoundingBox(3),st.BoundingBox(4)],...

'EdgeColor','r','LineWidth',2 );

end

Just burn them in. Like if you want it white

row1 = ceil(BB(2));
row2 = row1 + BB(4) - 1;
col1 = ceil(BB(1));
col2 = col1 + BB(3) - 1;
obj(row1:row2, col1) = 255;
obj(row1:row2, col2) = 255;
obj(row1, col1:col2) = 255;
obj(row2, col1:col2) = 255;
% Write this frame out to a new video file on disk.
writeVideo(videoWriterObject, obj);

See attached demos if you need more help in using writeVideo().

Hello Sir, this was helpful informations. because the position of the bounding box changes in every frame, i created a empty array as a placeholder at the beginning of the for loop. I was planning saving each frames into that array to write a video at the end. All of the frames are in grayscales. The problem i am runninh into after post processing when i save the image into an empty array, it not not saving with the boinding box.

placeholder = zeros([size(I,1) size(I,2) 1 nframes], class(I));

for k = 1:nframes

% processing binary image

A=pre processed original_frame

imshow(A);

hold on;

st = regionprops(obj, 'BoundingBox' );

BB = st(1).BoundingBox;

rectangle('Position', [BB(1),BB(2),BB(3),BB(4)], 'EdgeColor','b','LineWidth',2 );

placeholder(:, :, k) = A (k) ;

end

The bounding boxes are not being saved in the placeholder array and they did a mismatch of the sizes.

Correct. And the reason is that your code above totally ignores my suggestion. Why aren't you assigning the rows and columns to obj, and using writeVideo() like I suggested?

You can save the image to a frame movie structure instead of saving just the bare image alone, if you want. That's how I did it in the attached demo where I built a movie from individual saved image files.
