To find the coordinates of the following image?

I want to find the coordinates of the middle fingure in both hands.

OK. Should be easy. Thanks for the announcement, and good luck.

Sir, can you please provide the code.

Sir, can you please provide the separate images? (Not a screenshot but the actual images).

[Adarsh Ankur]

I have only this sir !

You can Select points in an image interactively using the ‘getpts’ command.

1) figure

imshow(‘ImageName.tif);

2) [X,Y] = getpts;

3) Double click on the point whose coordinates are to be found.

4) X and Y will store the x and y coordinates of that point respectively.

Refer the following documentation for more information on ‘getpts’ method.

Can you please provide me with a code?

Try this:

Here's a start:

grayImage = rgb2gray(rgbImage);
mask = grayImage > 128; % or whatever value works to get the hand.
mask = imfill(mask, 'holes');
mask = bwareafilt(mask, 1); % Take largest blob.
props = regionprops(mask, 'BoundingBox');
xLeft = props.BoundingBox(1)
xRight = xLeft + props.BoundingBox(3)
hold on;
rectangle('Position', props.BoundingBox, 'EdgeColor', 'y', 'LineWidth', 2)

You can easily determine whether the hand is oriented like on the left of right by splitting the mask into the top half and bottom half and finding if the centroid of bottom half is to the left or right of the top half

topHalf = false(size(mask));
[rows, columns] = size(mask);
topHalf(floor(rows/2)+1:end, :) = false; % Erase bottom half.
propsTop = regionprops(topHalf, 'Centroid');
bottomHalf = false(size(mask));
bottomHalf(1:floor(rows/2), :) = false; % Erase top half.
propsBottom = regionprops(topHalf, 'Centroid');
if propsTop.Centroid(1,1) < propsBottom.Centroid(1,1)
    % Forearm is on the right.
    xMiddle = xLeft; % Middle finger is on the left.
else
    % Forarm is on the left
    xMiddle = xRight; % Middle finger is on the right.
end

I'm getting error after running it.

OK Ardash, here's the Full Demo:

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all;  % Close all imtool figures if you have the Image Processing Toolbox.
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 16;
% Check that user has the Image Processing Toolbox installed.
hasIPT = license('test', 'image_toolbox');
if ~hasIPT
  % User does not have the toolbox installed.
  message = sprintf('Sorry, but you do not seem to have the Image Processing Toolbox.\nDo you want to try to continue anyway?');
  reply = questdlg(message, 'Toolbox missing', 'Yes', 'No', 'Yes');
  if strcmpi(reply, 'No')
    % User said No, so exit.
