Branching points detection in processed image

I want to get the branching coordinates from a computer-generated image like this one:



Generated tree



After SkeletonTransform and Pruning, I get:



Skeletonized



I would like to develop an algorithm that automatically detect and give coordinates of branching points (I could do it manually but really time consuming).



Thanks!

    @ Szabolcs It was more about a careful selection of thinning and skeletonize options. The result with MorphologicalBranchPoints wasn't good then.

Use MorphologicalBranchPoints.



im = Binarize@Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/O0AMj.png"]

skel = Pruning[Thinning[im], 20];

HighlightImage[skel, MorphologicalBranchPoints[skel]]


enter image description here



Another possibility is to use



skel1 = Pruning[Thinning[im, Method -> "MedialAxis"], 10];


as a start then smoothen the result using 



skel2 = Thinning@Dilation[skel1, 5]


so that MorphologicalBranchPoints would not give false results.



HighlightImage[skel2, MorphologicalBranchPoints[skel2]]

We can extract this curve and use it as the original boundary:

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
