I have an image:

pic = Import[
  "http://note.youdao.com/yws/public/resource/\
2c5a562224240edcf1631fcd39810f56/55FA538207424C0A98AB548724994AE1"]

enter link description here

that I want to binarize. When I try to do it in Mathematica, the results is enter image description here

My code is

bin = MorphologicalBinarize[pic // ColorNegate, {0.4, 0.6}]

I tried this many times. The result was always bad. I want to binarize the image so I can count the lattice (including that adjacent to the border). Can anyone help me?

    $\begingroup$ From the looks of your output image (please repost the original though) you should try LocalAdaptiveBinarize. $\endgroup$

As suggested by Rahul, LocalAdaptiveBinarize is your friend:

LocalAdaptiveBinarize[pic, 15]

enter image description here

In order to count things, you can use the MorphologicalComponents command. Here we colorize it to get a visualization of how well the morphological processing segments the data:

MorphologicalComponents[LocalAdaptiveBinarize[pic, 15]] // Colorize

enter image description here

Of course, MorphologicalComponents is very versatile and can help gather statistics about your image and the segmentation.

    $\begingroup$ +1, I would also suggest a bigger radius so you don't get the extra noise in the middle of the pieces. $\endgroup$
