Connect two objects to a single blob

Here is an example image of 2 objects. I want to fill the gap between those two to get a single blob. I tried with different morphological closing but could not get a smooth result as drawn in red.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you find() on the image to get the row and column coordinates, then you can use boundary() to get a list of indices into the row and columns that together, taken in order, give an outline that includes all of the points.

[y, x] = find(YourImage);
K = boundary(x, y);
boundary_x = x(K);
boundary_y = y(K);
mask = poly2mask( boundary_x, boundary_y, size(YourImage,1), size(YourImage,2) );
mask is now an ROI that is 1 for everywhere inside the combined object. Or you can
plot(boundary_x, boundary_y, 'r', 'linewidth', 4)
if what you care about is just drawing the outline rather than figuring out which points are inside of it.
