isolate masks from an image that was created in a non-MATLAB program

Hello,

I am using a python program to find objects in an image. The output of the python program is an image where the original image is grayed and masks are overlayed in different colors, similar to the output of labelmatrix() and then label2rgb().

I want to read this output image into MATLAB and do further processing on the regions overlayed by color. How do I isolate these regions in MATLAB? In other words, how do I find the different colored masks?

Thanks

Interesting. Can your python program outputs the masks only? That will be much easier for matlab to process the masks.

Then you might follow this answer:

Thank you, yes I was able to figure out how to output the masks separately after posting my question.
