Try thresholding in HSV color space to get purple blobs but not black blobs or yellow background.
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear; % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 14;
%===============================================================================
% Read in a color demo image.
folder = 'D:\Temporary Stuff';
baseFileName = 'USM16.jpg';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
% Didn't find it there. Check the search path for it.
fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
% Still didn't find it. Alert user.
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist.', fullFileName);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
end
rgbImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image. numberOfColorBands should be = 3.
[rows, columns, numberOfColorBands] = size(rgbImage);
% Display the original color image.
subplot(3, 3, 1);
imshow(rgbImage);
title('Original Color Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'Outerposition', [0, 0, 1, 1]);
% Extract the individual red, green, and blue color channels.
hsv = rgb2hsv(rgbImage);
hImage = hsv(:, :, 1);
sImage = hsv(:, :, 2);
vImage = hsv(:, :, 3);
% Display the images
subplot(3, 3, 4);
imshow(hImage, []);
title('Hue Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
subplot(3, 3, 5);
imshow(sImage, []);
title('Saturation Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
subplot(3, 3, 6);
imshow(vImage, []);
title('Value Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Let's compute and display the histogram.
[pixelCount, grayLevels] = imhist(hImage);
subplot(3, 3, 7);
bar(grayLevels, pixelCount);
grid on;
title('Histogram of Hue image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
xlim([0 grayLevels(end)]); % Scale x axis manually.
% Let's compute and display the histogram.
[pixelCount, grayLevels] = imhist(sImage);
subplot(3, 3, 8);
bar(grayLevels, pixelCount);

xlim([0 grayLevels(end)]); % Scale x axis manually.
% Manually threshold the images usinghttp://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29372-thresholding-an-image
% [lowThreshold, highThreshold] = threshold(.1, .9, vImage);
% Get a binary image by thresholding and combining the different channels.
hueBinary = hImage > 0.2 | hImage < 0.1;
saturationBinary = sImage > 0.22;
valueBinary = vImage > 0.28 & vImage < 0.9;
binaryImage = hueBinary & saturationBinary & valueBinary;
% Clear up by getting rid of particles less than 400 pixels in area.
binaryImage = bwareaopen(binaryImage, 400);
% Fill any holes in the blobs.
binaryImage = imfill(binaryImage, 'holes');
subplot(3, 3, 2);
imshow(binaryImage, []);
axis on;
title('Cells Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'Outerposition', [0, 0, 1, 1]);
% Label each blob with 8-connectivity, so we can make measurements of it
[labeledImage, numberOfBlobs] = bwlabel(binaryImage, 8);
% Apply a variety of pseudo-colors to the regions.
coloredLabelsImage = label2rgb (labeledImage, 'hsv', 'k', 'shuffle');
% Display the pseudo-colored image.
subplot(3, 3, 3);
imshow(coloredLabelsImage);

% Get all the blob properties.
blobMeasurements = regionprops(labeledImage, 'all')
numberOfBlobs = size(blobMeasurements, 1)

I've see that "upside down" font once before, and even then it showed up on only 1 of the 3 computers the app was installed on. The solution was to change the renderer to one of the other options. I think it was zbuffer that worked. But now when I open that GUI in R2014b, it doesn't look like zbuffer is an option anymore and my renderer is blank. The only options seem to be painters and opengl. Anyway, try one of those. Before the first call to subplot, put this
figure;
set(gcf, 'Renderer', 'Painters'); % or zbuffer or opengl.
If none of the 3 options work, then call the Mathworks.

Use the colorThresholder App which gives you the ability to adjust the boundaries
