To find the center, check regionprops Matlab function, it has a lot of features.
To compute the radial profile, you can program a function like this :
function profile = radialAverage(IMG, cx, cy, w)
% computes the radial average of the image IMG around the cx,cy point
% w is the vector of radii starting from zero
[a,b] = size(IMG);
[X, Y] = meshgrid( (1:a)-cx, (1:b)-cy);
R = sqrt(X.^2 + Y.^2);
profile = [];
for i = w % radius of the circle
mask = (i-1<R & R<i+1); % smooth 1 px around the radius
values = (1-abs(R(mask)-i)) .* double(IMG(mask)); % smooth based on distance to ring
% values = IMG(mask); % without smooth
profile(end+1) = mean( values(:) );
end
end
