# How to get center points of an images with different resolution

I have an images of particles and I want to get the center point coordinates for each particle. I can get the coordinates with other imaging tools, but since my calculations are in mathematica i want to do everything in the same notebook. here are two images, one is with more resolution than the other one, preferably I want the image with Low Resolution

High Resolution Low Resolution
Expecting

Thank you very much,

I followed the example in the article How to Count Cells, Annihilate Sailboats, and Warp the Mona Lisa on the Wolfram Blog, and got a pretty good result on the high resolution image:

img = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y3Sed.png"];
binary = Binarize[ImageAdjust[img], 0.4];
dist = ImageAdjust@DistanceTransform[binary, 0.5];
markers = MaxDetect[dist, 0.1];
HighlightImage[
img,
{Red, Values@ComponentMeasurements[markers, "Centroid"]}
]


I hope it might help. Perhaps someone else can refine it.

• Thanks for your answer, I get an error , I think my mathematica 9, doesn't recognize Values, what is the alternative? here is the error code: HighlightImage::mkinv: Expecting either an image or graphics with dimensions {162,449} or a list of positions to specify markers instead of {RGBColor[1,0,0],Values[{1->{64.,448.167},2->{99.,448.},3->{80.6111,440.722},4->{111.,437.},5->{60.5,431.583},<<41>>,47->{94.5,309.167},48->{73.9615,305.5},49->{122.75,299.5},50->{59.8,296.7},<<86>>}]}. >> – Racaio Cmoto Apr 4 '20 at 4:04
• @RacaioCmoto it is always better to include the version of your Mathematica/WL, especially when it is not the most updated one. As to fix your problem, one can make an intuitive jump that since Values pulls out the values of each Rule or Association and lists them, and each key is the indexed position in the list of values (more or less), one might consider the following: Range@Length@#/.#&@ComponentMeasures[markers, “Centroid”]. Maybe there’s a simpler way, though. – CA Trevillian Apr 4 '20 at 6:51
• I would use cm[[All, 2]] where cm is ComponentMeasurements[...]. – C. E. Apr 4 '20 at 7:22
