imbinarize not working on given image

10 views (last 30 days)
So I have attached the image of coins I am using. I need to make this image black and white but it's just showing an area whole filled with white. When I run on coins.tif file provided in MATLAB, my code works fine but not on this image. Please tell me where I am going wrong. TIA
Image = imread('Coin.jpg');
[rows, columns, numberOfColorBands] = size(Image);
if numberOfColorBands > 1
grayImage = rgb2gray(Image);
else
grayImage = Image;
end
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
binaryImage = imbinarize(grayImage);
subplot(3, 1, 1);
imshow(Image, []);
subplot(3, 1, 2);
imshow(grayImage, []);
subplot(3, 1, 3);
imshow(binaryImage, []);
The best binary image I could get is by using this line
binaryImage = imbinarize(grayImage,'adaptive','ForegroundPolarity','bright','Sensitivity',0.13);
But still I am getting numerous white dots here and there in the black area like this.

by using size, you're obtaining the dimension information of the image. So your 3rd coordinate (numberOfColorBands) would be the position in the stack (of a volumetric image), and not the # channels of your image.
Try using
info = imfinfo('yourImage')
% Then, use info in your if condition.
Cheers

Well, I see you could get your binary image.
To improve the noise in the black background, you can dilate/erode your B&W output.
