how can i find more than one minimum points of the histogram??

1 view (last 30 days)
Suppose I have a histogram and I want to find the minimum point of the histogram other than 0, then what procedure I should follow? In the histogram image below, the minimum point is approximately 10,15,17. Then how can I find this?

Try this
% Get histogram
[pixelCounts, grayLevels] = imhist(grayImage);
% Find darkest bin with more than 15 pixels in it
darkestGL = find(pixelCounts > 15, 1, 'first');

You can sort the outcome of the histogram
data = ceil(10*rand(100,1))
values = 1:10
count = histc(data,values)
[SortedCount, idx] = sort(count)
SortedValues = values(idx)
disp([SortedValues(:) SortedCount(:)])

it is not sorting values as per the requirement. i want sorted values on x axis with respect to y. means the value on the x axis having the lowest value on the y axis, that should come first and so on.

I did that in my code above. Like I said, "the lowest bin has one count in it and it occurs at bin 236. The second lowest bin also has only one pixel in it, and it occurs at gray level 237, and the third lowest bin also has only one count in it and it occurs at 247." Explain why 1 is not the lowest y value (count in the bin), and explain why 236,237,247 is not sorted.
