Hello to all, [INDENT]I am making an application which will only take images, convert it into binary image using a threshold. Now this binary image will be segmented horizontally on the basis of black pixels. In the attachment , this is the original image file. Now i have to segment it in these two segments i.e, and .

I am using the following code to do this, i am getting an exception ofinvalid parameters to the Rectangle in line 51 [/INDENT]
Please view the following code carefully and tell me the logical mistake please thanks in advance;

public ArrayList horizantalsegment()
        {

            ArrayList aa = new ArrayList();

            int counter = 0, x1 = 0, x2 =0, y1 =0, y2 =0;

            bool flagblack = false;

            Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(srcimage.Width, srcimage.Height);

            Bitmap bsegment = (Bitmap)srcimage.Clone ();

            BitmapData srcdata = ((Bitmap)srcimage).LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, srcimage.Width, srcimage.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);

            BitmapData destdata = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);

            byte clrvalue = 0;

            unsafe
            {

emarshah,
Rectangle coordinates must lie inside the bitmap. Use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy method to copy bitmap value into an array (byte).

Hello,

I have locate the error, i wasn't clearing the variables x1, y1, x2 and y2.... Thanks for input.
