I want to add dot in image

I have gray image that has array 500x500, after that I want to find maximum value in column for example, I know first column maximum is 254 and position is (1,54) x=1 because first column and y =54 because position in y so I want to add marker(dot) in position (1,54) on this image and do this all column. How to do this? please help me (I want to do like a this image)

A tophat filter with width of about 37 seems good. Did you try that? If not, here is the code:

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;

%===============================================================================
% Read in gray scale demo image.
folder = pwd; % Determine where demo folder is (works with all versions).
baseFileName = '91901.jpg';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % The file doesn't exist -- didn't find it there in that folder.
  % Check the entire search path (other folders) for the file by stripping off the folder.
  fullFileNameOnSearchPath = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileNameOnSearchPath, 'file')
    % Still didn't find it.  Alert user.
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    return;
  end
end
rgbImage = imread(fullFileName);

% Get the dimensions of the image.
% numberOfColorChannels should be = 1 for a gray scale image, and 3 for an RGB color image.
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(rgbImage)
if numberOfColorChannels > 1
  % It's not really gray scale like we expected - it's color.
  % Use weighted sum of ALL channels to create a gray scale image.
  %   grayImage = rgb2gray(rgbImage);
  % ALTERNATE METHOD: Convert it to gray scale by taking only the green channel,
  % which in a typical snapshot will be the least noisy channel.
  grayImage = rgbImage(:, :, 2); % Take green channel.
else
  grayImage = rgbImage; % It's already gray scale.
end
% Now it's gray scale with range of 0 to 255.

% Display the image.
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Original Image', 'FontSize', fontSize, 'Interpreter', 'None');
axis('on', 'image');
hp = impixelinfo();

% Set up figure properties:
% Enlarge figure to full screen.

% set(gcf, 'Toolbar', 'none', 'Menu', 'none');
% Give a name to the title bar.

  % Binarize the image
  binaryImage = imbinarize(edgeImage);
  % You could call imfill() to fill it, but it's not really necessary.
  % Take just the largest blob, in case there are smaller ones.
  binaryImage = bwareafilt(binaryImage, 1);
  % Display the image.
  subplot(2, 2, 4);
  imshow(binaryImage, []);
  title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize, 'Interpreter', 'None');
  axis('on', 'image');
  hp = impixelinfo();
  
  % Now go across the columns finding the top row.
  topRows = zeros(1, columns);
  for col = 1 : columns
    row = find(binaryImage(:, col), 1, 'first');
    % IF it found something, record it.
    if ~isempty(row)
      topRows(col) = row;
    end
  end
  % Make missing values the same as the first non-zero column
  firstCol = find(topRows, 1, 'first');
  topRows(1 : firstCol) = topRows(firstCol);
  lastCol = find(topRows, 1, 'last');
  topRows(lastCol : end) = topRows(lastCol);
  % You could extend the bottom of the binary image to the bottom of the image, but it's not really necessary.
  
  % Plot it over the image
  subplot(2, 2, 1);
  imshow(grayImage, []);
  title('Original Image', 'FontSize', fontSize, 'Interpreter', 'None');
  hold on;
  plot(topRows, 'r-', 'LineWidth', 3);
  hold off;

  promptMessage = sprintf('Showing filter window size of %d\n\nDo you want to enlarge the window,\nor Accept this size?', windowSize);
  titleBarCaption = 'Continue?';
  buttonText = questdlg(promptMessage, titleBarCaption, 'Next', 'Accept and continue', 'Next');
