sparkle identification

[_-3]

Hi all,
I have an image with sparkles on a surface
( you can see this image on
http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/view/imgixh0pb9jtu.jpg)
-the black dots in the image, not the
black big area in the middle

my probelm is to find a solution to find
(quite) all of the black "dots"

I tried some brightness/contrast sepearion
did some band pass filtering and find maxima
but nothing worked well

mybe you have some hints ?

thank you very mutch !

Dear Heins Spilker,

although the following may need some parameter tweaking for different
images of this kind you may try this two-step procedure:

1
Process >> FFT >> BandpassFilter
with large=30; small=5; AutoScale; perhaps Saturate;

2
Process >> Find Maxima
NoiseTolerance=20; OutputType=MaxWithTol; ExcludeEdgeMax; LightBackgr;


HTH
