How to extract lengths of sequences from a binary vector?

1 view (last 30 days)
For example, I have x = [0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0]; and I need 2,3,1,1,4,2,1. Are there any simple way to get this?

If you have the Image Processing Toolbox
S=regionprops(boolean(x),'Area')
sequenceLengths=[S.Area],

>> x = [0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0];
>> idx = find([1,diff(x),1]);
>> idx(2:end)-idx(1:end-1)
ans =
2 3 1 1 4 2 1
