How to calculate area in a binary image?

I have two questions to ask:
1) How to calculate area at the white region in binary image?
2) How to convert the answer of area unit that get from matlab into cm^2 or mm^2 (SI UNIT)?
here I attach the original image and binary image (this image is marine growth on the fiberglass plate)

Hi Asmalina,
1) To find the area in pixel size we just need to find the number of white pixel which would be
area = bwarea(bw);%bw is your binary threshold image
The unit would be pixel
2) To find the area in real world units , you need to find out how big one pixel is in appropraite units, if you working with DICOM image refer to this answer.
Another way is we can find the percentage of white area so if you have the plate area , you can find out the actual white area then.
to find out the percentage area:
percentageWhite = nnz(bw) / numel(bw);

The file format on disk doesn't matter (though hopefully it's not a lossy bad format like JPG). Once it's read into MATLAB, it's just a regular numerical array. It doesn't matter what format it was on disk before that. So you either have the calibration data in the metadata of the image, in which case you can simply start using it, or you don't which means you'll have to create it, such as by drawing a known distance on the image.

See my attached spatial calibration demo.

The number of white pixels is, of course, unitless. It's just simply a count, like 235 or 14983 or whatever. It can have an area in pixels or square cm but the count is obviously just a number and has no units at all.
