i want to segment/crop digits from this image and remove extra background and store each digit as image array. i want to scan row wise digits and results.

    % code
imgSD = imread('sdigits.png');
 bw = im2bw(imgSD);

 img = imgSD;
 img(:,sum(bw)==40,1)=0;
 img(:,sum(bw)==40,2)=0;
 img(:,sum(bw)==40,3)=255;

 imshow(img);

 img(sum(bw,2)==575,:,1)=255;
 img(sum(bw,2)==575,:,2)=0;
 img(sum(bw,2)==575,:,3)=0;

 imshow(img)
