Create a mask
Masks are the primary method for removing or selecting specific parts of an image. They are binary arrays that indicate whether a value should be included in an analysis. Typically, masks are created by applying one or more logical operations to an image.
For this exercise, try to use a simple intensity threshold to differentiate between skin and bone in the hand radiograph. (im has been equalized to utilize the whole intensity range.)
Below is the histogram of im colored by the segments we will plot.
