view centroid in a video
Show older comments
Knowing the coordinates of the centroid as I could see it in the video I tried to use hold on followed by plot point, but it does not work

Can you use the Computer Vision System Toolbox to do tracking http://www.mathworks.com/products/computer-vision/description5.html ?

Then use the Computer Vision System Toolbox. Did you see the examples where they put boxes around the moving things they tracked? You just do the same thing except put up a dot or cross or some other symbol at the centroid. If you don't have that toolbox and can't afford it, let me know. It can be done with the Image Processing Toolbox alone.

I'd have to custom make one for you. I might be able to get to it today if you want.

Alright, good, You say that you already have the centroid stored in your object - your "movimento.Ogni" structure. So then simply do this to plot the centroid over the image:
hold on;
plot(xCentroid, yCentroid, 'r*', 'MarkerSize', 25, 'LineWidth', 3);

Not sure if you were able to do it so I made a demo for you. See attached demo below in blue text.

luigi, did you actually download and run my test3.m file I created for you? If you had, you would see that I have a structure, and I plot the centroid of the blobs over the blobs. This is just what you asked for, twice. Please run my video and you'll have your answer. Look - I extracted the relevant portion for you. Here it is:
% Label the blobs.
labeledImage = bwlabel(binaryImage, 8); % Label each blob so we can make measurements of it
% Get all the blob properties. Can only pass in originalImage in version R2008a and later.
blobMeasurements = regionprops(labeledImage, 'Centroid');
numberOfBlobs = size(blobMeasurements, 1);
if numberOfBlobs >= 1
blobMeasurementsCentroids = [blobMeasurements.Centroid];
xCenters = blobMeasurementsCentroids(1:2:end);
yCenters = blobMeasurementsCentroids(2:2:end);
hold on;
% Mark centroid with a star inside a circle.
plot(xCenters, yCenters, 'r*', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 20);
plot(xCenters, yCenters, 'ro', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 20);
hold off;
promptMessage = sprintf('Do you want to Continue processing,\nor Cancel to abort processing?');
titleBarCaption = 'Continue?';
button = questdlg(promptMessage, titleBarCaption, 'Continue', 'Cancel', 'Continue');
if strcmpi(button, 'Cancel')
return;
end
end

You forgot to post the error. Post all the red text. But I don't have that toolbox so I may not be able to help much.
