I want to create a binary mask, where there will be random white dots in the area. But it will be more dense in the middle. For the reference please check the image.
row = 320;
col = 320;
trnMask = zeros(row,col)
trnMask = rand(320);
figure,imshow(trnMask);
I tried this code. But it doesn't work.

Without having clear technical goals, I'm just going to assume that no technical requirements exist for shape or density. I'm going to treat this as a rudimentary dithering operation.
% image size
s = 320;
% generate some gaussian profile or something?
sg = s*0.15; % gaussian shape parameter
os = 0.05; % background noise
R = linspace(-s/2,s/2,s);
prof = exp(-(R.^2 + R.'.^2)/(2*sg^2));
prof = prof*(1-os) + os;
% create random mask
mask = rand(s);
% binarize profile by comparing gray levels to mask
out = mask <= prof;
imshow(out)
