Image Arithmetic

imabsdif
imadd
imcomplement
imdivide

imlincomb
immultiply
imsubtract

Adding Images
I = imread(rice.tif);
J = imread(cameraman.tif);
K = imadd(I, J);
imshow(K)

Brighten an image results saturation

RGB = imread(flowers.tif);
RGB2 = imadd(RGB, 50);
subplot(1, 2, 1); imshow(RGB);
subplot(1, 2, 2); imshow(RGB2);

Subtracting Images
Background of a scene
rice = imread(rice.tif);
background = imopen(rice, strel(disk, 15));
rice2 = imsubtract(rice, background);
imshow(rice), figure, imshow(rice2);

Multiplying Images
Scaling: multiply by a constant
(brightens >1, darkens <1)

Preserves relative contrast

I = imread(moon.tif);
J = immultiply(I, 1.2);
imshow(I);
figure, imshow(J)

Dividing Images (Ratioing)

I = imread(rice.tif);
background = imopen(I, strel(disk, 15));
Ip = imdivide(I, background);
imshow(Ip, [])

Linear combination only truncates

the final result
K = imlincomb(.5, I, .5, I2);
