For matlab

In this project, you$$ll play the role of a scientist using satellite images to study climate change. You$$ve been provided with two images of the same region in Antarctica taken two years apart. The first image was captured in January of $2018$ and the second image was taken in January of $2020.$ Your goal is to calculate how much more water from melting is visible in the image taken two years after the first.

Your task is to create a function that segments the water so you can compare the two image.

Choose one of the images and use the Color Thresholder app to segment the image such that areas that are water are labeled true in the resulting binary image.

Generate the segmentation function and apply it to the other ice shelf image.

If you$$re satisfied with the performance of your function on both images, copy your function code into the online grader in the next section for assessment. Otherwise, go back to the Color Thresholder app and try a new approach on one of the images.

You$$ll likely need to try multiple color spaces as it can be tricky to find a function that works with both images. Experiment with segmenting the first image and applying your function to the second and vice versa. Remember that you can change the background color and opacity in the app. This will help you identify where your segmentation is making mistakes.

You do not have to get a perfect segmentation. The online grader will provide feedback to help you adjust your approach. Once your function passes the assessment, calculate how much more water is visible in the $2$nd ice shelf image. To help you, here is the resulting masked image using our segmentation function.
