moving the center of an image from point to another?

Hi All

i have this image

http://postimage.org/image/91xxambx9/

i want to moving it to the center of the whole figure , how this can be done in matlab i.e how can i raise this image to the center of the whole figure.

for example the first center point coordinates is 160 173 and the second center point coordinates is 160 121

how can i moving the center from first point to the second point?

i tried this code

y=imread('.......bmp');
[r c]=size(y);
 for i=0:1:r
for j=1:1:c
y(i,j)=y(i,j+50);
end
end
imshow(y);

but the result was this error:

??? Attempted to access y(0,52); index must be a positive integer or logical.

any help? my regards

Copy and paste this:

% Demo to shift a region in a binary image.
% By ImageAnalyst
clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all;  % Close all imtool figures.
clear;  % Erase all existing variables.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 14;

grayImage = peaks(200);
imshow(grayImage, []);
subplot(2,2,1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Original Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
axis on;
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]); % Maximize figure.
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off') 

% imtool(z)
binaryImage = grayImage > 5;

subplot(2,2,2);
imshow(binaryImage, []);
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
axis on;

% Find the centroid of that binary region
measurements = regionprops(binaryImage, 'Centroid')

[rows columns] = size(binaryImage);
rowsToShift = round(rows/2- measurements.Centroid(2))
columnsToShift = round(columns/2 - measurements.Centroid(1))

% Call circshift to move region to the center.
shiftedImage = circshift(binaryImage, [rowsToShift columnsToShift]);
subplot(2,2,3);
imshow(shiftedImage, []);
title('Shifted Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
axis on;

Is zero a positive integer? No. Indexing starts at 1 in MATLAB. Anyway, that won't move it. That's more like a copy and paste rather than a cut and paste. Try circshift

out = circshift(in, [-50, 0]);

thanks

but when i implement cirshift(), and then multiplying it's result by the original image to continue implementing other operation on the shifted gray scale image ,the result will be similar to this

please , can you inform me how this error can be corrected.

[Image Analyst]

I don't understand what the "error" is. It shifted the images up by 50 pixels. That is what you said you wanted to do. What's the problem? Why do you want to shift the image anyway? Anything you want to do can be done on the unshifted image.

[mmm ssss]

i don't now how can i explain my question , but for example if i have an image at the buttom of the figure , then i implement many operations on it, after that i want to obtain its skeleton by morphological operation , i obtained the skeleton in addition to the effect of the buttom boundary, so i want to center the image(shifted above) before skeleton to get rid of the effect of the buttom boundary .i wish that my goal now is obvious.if it is not i can send you the resultant image that i got for more illustration.

[Image Analyst]

Not sure what the problem is. Is it that you don't know how to figure out the "50" - the amount to shift the image?

[mmm ssss]

i am not sure that i understand your comment

[Image Analyst]

Try my demo code I just submitted here.

[mmm ssss]

i try it and it worked on your image , now how can i make it work on my images , i have about 250 image.

please , give me simple and specific explanation

[mmm ssss]

also , why you use these

rowsToShift = round(rows/2- measurements.Centroid(2))

columnsToShift = round(columns/2 - measurements.Centroid(1))

    clear all
    img=imread(.........);%reading image.
    imshow(img);

    level=graythresh(img);
    x=im2bw(img,level);
    figure,imshow(x);
    measurements = regionprops(im2double(x), 'Centroid')
    [rows columns] = size(x);
    rowsToShift = round(rows/2- measurements.Centroid(2))
    columnsToShift = round(columns/2 - measurements.Centroid(1))
    shiftedImage = circshift(x, [rowsToShift columnsToShift]);
    figure,
    imshow(shiftedImage, []);
    nnew=img.*cast(x,class(img));
    medimage=medfilt2(nnew,[5 5]);%median Filtering image
    figure,imshow(medimage);
    z=adapthisteq(medimage);
    figure,imshow(z);
    H = fspecial('unsharp');
    y=imfilter(z,H);
    figure,imshow(y);
    mIm=imfilter(y,fspecial('average',31),'replicate');

    sIm=y-mIm;
    bw=im2bw(sIm,0);                % Convert to binary image
    ALT_img=imcomplement(bw);          % Complement binary image
    figure,imshow(ALT_img);
    %%%%%%morphological on binary images.

    open_img =bwmorph(ALT_img,'open'  ,Inf);
    figure,imshow(open_img);title('open_img');
    major_img =bwmorph(open_img,'majority' ,Inf);
    figure,imshow(major_img);title('major_img');
    ske_img = bwmorph(major_img,'skel',100);
    figure,imshow(ske_img);

please only coy and paste the above code

[mmm ssss]

*please only copy and paste the above code on this image to see the error by your eyes

really i am confused , i dont know what can i do to manipulate this error

[mmm ssss]

Image Analyst , what are your opinion on my code
