Hello, I have a thermal video from a professional camera and how have to find the hottest point regarding temperature in this video. Would you please like to tell me how can I do this? I imported thermal image from this video and applied threshold it gives the values but after that it doesn't locate the hottest spot. Thanking you in anticipation.

It's just 3 lines. Just mask the original image:
binaryImage = grayImage > 150;maskedImage = zeros(size(grayImage)); % Initialize.
maskedImage(binaryImage) = grayImage(binaryImage);See the full demo below:

close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)

folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');baseFileName = 'coins.png';% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file') % File doesn't exist -- didn't find it there. Check the search path for it.
fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
