Question
I am trying to convert the image into a binary image, using the function form: function C = coins2bw(A) where A is a 2D grayscale image variable and C is a 2D binary image variable. The output image C should show the coins as filled in round disks with no other arifacts or stray foreground pixels(background in black while the coins are white). Using only morphological or fourier transforms.

I = imread('image.webp');
I = imadjust(I);
[centers,radii] = imfindcircles(I,[15 75],'ObjectPolarity','dark','Sensitivity',0.85);
BW = false(size(I,1),size(I,2));
[Xgrid,Ygrid] = meshgrid(1:size(BW,2),1:size(BW,1));
for n = 1:size(centers,1)
    BW = BW | (hypot(Xgrid-centers(n,1),Ygrid-centers(n,2)) <= radii(n));
end
maskedImage = I;
maskedImage(~BW) = 0;
imshow(BW)
fprintf('Numbers of coins: %d\n',size(centers,1))
