How to trace the boundray of object in an image using MATLAB?

Hi,
I want to trace the boundary of an object in an image.(the bended black part)
I am attaching the binarised image herewith.
My questions are:
when I use dim= size(I) inin the following code, it gives different size and when I type in dim = size(BW), it gives different pixel size, so which should I follow?
I = imread('flap2.png');
imshow(I);
dim = size(I)
secondly how can I define the row and coloumn using this size information in order to continue with bwtraceboundary , because when i use this command it gives me a following error:
Error using bwtraceboundary
Expected input number 1, BW, to be two-dimensional.
waiting for a kind response.
Regards

"I want to trace the boundary of an object in an image.(the bended black part)"
Which image? Can you attach it (Please use clip button)

se=strel('disk',2);
im=imerode(~binary_image,se);
result=bwareafilt(im,1);
result=imdilate(result,se);
imshow(result);
Please adjust the morpho operation to get more accurate results

To get the indices of boundary, apply hit and miss transformation, the
[r,c]=find(resultant_image==1)

If you want to manually trace some boundary. Use drawfreehand().
If you have a binary image and you want an image of the perimeter only, then use bwperim().
perimImage = bwperim(binaryImage);
imshow(perimImage);
If you have a binary image and you want a list of the (x,y) coordinates, use bwboundaries().
boundaries = bwboundaries(binaryImage);
hold on; % Don't let boundaries blow away the image.
for k = 1 : length(boundaries)
thisBoundary = boundaries{k};
x = thisBoundary(:, 2);
y = thisBoundary(:, 1);
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 2);
end
hold off;

You passed in your color image. You need to use the binary image, after it's been converted to gray scale and segmented.

Try this:
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear; % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 22;

% READ IN IMAGE
folder = pwd;
baseFileName = 'image.jpeg';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
% The file doesn't exist -- didn't find it there in that folder.
% Check the entire search path (other folders) for the file by stripping off the folder.
fullFileNameOnSearchPath = baseFileName; % No path this time.
if ~exist(fullFileNameOnSearchPath, 'file')
% Still didn't find it. Alert user.
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));

Can you increase your exposure time to get a less noisy photo?
Maybe try some denoising routines, of which there are many. Maybe imnlmfit().
