Find radii of concentric circles in image


I have an image of concentric circles, I would like to find the radii of the circles (only the innermost few are important).


I've had a go using what I could find in previous posts, but am a bit confused about which method I should be using - if I need MorphologicalComponents, or whether to use SelectComponents "count" or "equivalentradius", or colornegate etc. Sometimes the circles are broken (especially when I binarize), so I need to look for incomplete circles too..


So far I have:


i = Import["http://i.imgur.com/oTTM9MG.jpg"];
b = Binarize[i, {0.3, 1}];
m = MorphologicalComponents[b];
c = SelectComponents[m, {"Count", "Holes"},
1000 < #1 < 20000 && #2 > 0 &] // Colorize

ComponentMeasurements[c, {"Centroid", "EquivalentDiskRadius"}]

or, using :


i = Import["http://i.imgur.com/oTTM9MG.jpg"];
disk = ColorNegate[Binarize[i, {0.3, 1}]];
rings = ComponentMeasurements[
disk, {"Centroid", "EquivalentDiskRadius"},
450 <= #1[[1]] <= 550 && 325 <= #1[[2]] <= 375 &&
10 <= #2 <= 500 &];
Show[{disk,

Graphics[{{Red, Circle[rings[[1, 2]][[1]], rings[[1, 2]][[2]]]}}]}]

Am I making it harder than it is? Could someone bump in the right direction?


both this, How to find circular objects in an image? and this, Finding the centroid of a disk in an image were helpful (but I need to expand it to multiple circles and fit partial circles).


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer



What you could do is apply an edge filter and find the threshold which binarizes your image best:


i = Import["http://i.imgur.com/oTTM9MG.jpg"];
edges = LaplacianGaussianFilter[ColorNegate[i], 2];

Manipulate[Binarize[edges, t], {t, 0, .1}]

After that you could select all objects with a certain radius or you throw out all small objects with a specific "Count". You have to decide then what you prefer as radius. I thought maybe the "MeanCentroidDistance" gives a quite stable measure


circles = 
SelectComponents[
MorphologicalComponents[LaplacianGaussianFilter[ColorNegate@i, 2], 0.0056`],
"Count", # > 300 &];
Colorize[circles]
ComponentMeasurements[circles, "MeanCentroidDistance"]
(*

{26 -> 271.952, 33 -> 262.778, 129 -> 221.202, 157 -> 209.482,
329 -> 154.293, 398 -> 136.493}

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
