Hi there, I want to detect an object which is so close (stick) to another object. can any one help me how I can do that

In attached image, there are two objects so close to each other, how I can detect only one of them?

Just draw a black line across the intersection to separate them. See attached demo.

Thanks for your reply, but this not omitting the other object or it doesnt help to detect only one object...

No, you'll get measurements for both. If you want you can use ginput(1) to indicate which one to remove. Or just throw away the measurements you don't want. Like if you never want the blob on the left, just label the image and use ismember to remove it.

labeledImage = bwlabel(binaryImage);
blob2 = ismember(labeledImage, 2) > 0; % Only take blob 2 on the right.
measurements = regionprops(blob2, 'all');
