3D Binary Matrix / Surface Mesh Image in Matlab

Question

How can I create a 3D binary matrix / image from a surface mesh in Matlab?

For example, when I create an ellipsoid using:

[x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,5.9,3.25,3.25,30);

X, Y, and X are all 31 x 31 two-dimensional matrices.

Edited based on @Magla's suggestion:

        [mask1, x, y, z] = DrawEllipsoid([0, -10, 0], [6, 3, 3], MatX,MatY,MatZ);
        [mask2, x2, y2, z2] = DrawEllipsoid([15, 14, 6], [6, 3, 3], MatX,MatY,MatZ);

Here is a way to create a binary mask from an ellipsoid. He creates the corresponding volume and sets it to NaNpoints outside the ellipsoid ( onesinside).

%DATA
[x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,5.9,3.25,3.25,30);

%METHOD
v = [x(:), y(:), z(:)];                       %3D points
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(min(v(:)):0.1:max(v(:)));  %volume mesh
tri = DelaunayTri(v);                         %triangulation
SI = pointLocation(tri,X(:),Y(:),Z(:));       %index of simplex (returns NaN for all points outside the convex hull)
mask = ~isnan(SI);                            %binary
mask = reshape(mask,size(X));                 %reshape the mask 

%PLOT
figure('Color', 'w');
subplot(1,2,1);
s = surf(x,y,z);
title('SURFACE', 'FontSize', 16);
view(-78,22)
subplot(1,2,2);
xslice = median(X(:));
yslice = median(Y(:));
zslice = median(Z(:));
h = slice(X, Y, Z, double(mask), xslice, yslice, zslice)
title('BINARY MASK - SLICE VOLUME', 'FontSize', 16);
set(h, 'EdgeColor','none');
view(-78,22)

:

%// Points you want to test. Define as you need. This example uses a grid of 1e6
%// points on a cube of sides [-10,10]:
[x y z] = meshgrid(linspace(-10,10,100)); 
x = x(:);
y = y(:);
z = z(:); %// linearize

%// Ellipsoid data
center = [0 0 0]; %// center
semiaxes = [5 4 3]; %// semiaxes

%// Actual computation:
inner = (x-center(1)).^2/semiaxes(1).^2 ...
      + (y-center(2)).^2/semiaxes(2).^2 ...
      + (z-center(3)).^2/semiaxes(3).^2 <= 1;
