Mahotas – Center of Mass of given Image

Last Updated : 26 May, 2021

In this article we will see how we can get the center of mass of the image in mahotas. Center of mass" (for binary images) is a bit convoluted way of saying "mean value across each dimension". In other words - take all x coordinates and average them - and you got x coordinate of your "center of mass", the same for y.
In this tutorial we will use β€œlena” image, below is the command to load it.
 

mahotas.demos.load('lena')


Below is the lena image

In order to do this we will use mahotas.center_of_mass method
Syntax : mahotas.center_of_mass(img)
Argument : It takes image object as argument
Return : It returns center of mass co-ordinates 
 


Note : Input image should be filtered or should be loaded as grey
In order to filter the image we will take the image object which is numpy.ndarray and filter it with the help of indexing, below is the command to do this
 

image = image[:, :, 0]


Below is the implementation 
 

Output : 
 

πŸ‘ Image


 

Center of Mass : [246.64854256 259.45157125]


Another example 
 

Output :

Center of Mass : [265.35619268 482.66701402]
