How to compare two images using information about spots location in the two images?

Hi. i am using two images that have spots in them. the two images are similar. some spots in image 1 are not present in image 2 and vice versa. furthermore spots present in both may slightly differ in location (few pixels).i want to find spots that are present in both. for that i am using regionprops PixelList to first detect spots and then compare pixelList if image 2 with that of image 1. If one pixel matches then spot matches. Howerever my codes isn't working properly. it gives all spots presnt in image 2 as output. kindly guide me. my code is as follows. i have also attaced the two images.

Don't double space your code. Single space it. Paste it in then highlight it and click {}Code button. Or else attach the m-file with the paper clip icon.

Have you heard of the Groth Algorithm: http://www.bing.com/search?q=%2bgroth+algorithm&filters=rcrse%3a%221%22&FORM=RCRE?
