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.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
