Solution

  • Put a transparent button over that portion

    update

     -(void)singleTapImageview:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gesture
     {
        NSLog(@"single-tap");
        CGPoint touchLocation = [gesture locationInView:self.imageViewParent];
        float x = touchLocation.x;
        float y = touchLocation.y;
    
        //Using gesture recogniser you can get the current position of touch
    
        UIImage* image = imageViewParent.image;
        CFDataRef data = CGDataProviderCopyData(CGImageGetDataProvider(image.CGImage));
        UInt8 *pixels = (UInt8 *)CFDataGetBytePtr(data);
    
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size);
        [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height)];
        CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
        CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 1);
        CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), [UIColor redColor].CGColor);
        int index = ((x + (y * (int)image.size.width)) * 4) + 3;
        CGFloat alpha = pixels[index];
        if (alpha == 0)
        {
            // call button acton
        }
    

    }
