How to detect marker with specific feature on it?

Hi, image processing experts.
I'm having problem with detecting a specific marked marker.
Here's an example photo that i drew.
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1469411/image.jpeg)
Marker is circle shaped. But as you know, marker could be ellipse shaped when the camera is not vertical with the marker.
What I want to do is, I want to find a marker with point marked inside the marker.
Want to get advice of detecting specific marker with point on it.
Thanks.

Questions about detecting ellipses and detecting points inside a closed region have been asked many times on this forum, you can find answers by searching.

Try this. Note that I only found 2 markers because one of them is not surrounded by a solid black circle -- it has a gap, like a "C". By the way, I'll be traveling the next 5 days and may not answer.

It's a generic, general purpose demo of how to threshold an image to find blobs, and then measure things about the blobs, and extract certain blobs based on their areas or diameters.
