What is an Image
• An image in image processing is a visual representation composed of
pixels.
• An image is an array, or a matrix, of square pixels (picture elements)
arranged in columns and rows.

10
An image — an array or a matrix of pixels arranged in columns and rows.
Representation of an image
• An Image is represented by rows and columns (row x col)/ (M x N)

11
An Image
• An image can be of these types
• Grayscale image
• (row x col)/ (M x N)
• Range 0~256
• Binary Image
• (row x col)/ (M x N)
• Range 0~1

12
An Image
• Color image
• (row x col x 3)/ (M x N x 3)
• Range 0~256

13
An Image
• Indexed Image:
• An indexed image
consists of an image
matrix and a
colormap (Two
matrices).
• (row x col x 3)/ (M x
N x 3)
• Range 0~256

Grayscale vs Binary vs Color

Why MATLAB for Image Processing
• MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is a popular programming language and
environment that is widely used for image processing
• MATLAB provides a user-friendly environment with a simple and syntax
• MATLAB offers specialized toolboxes, such as the Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB is designed for matrix-based operations, which align well with the
image data represented as matrices
• MATLAB provides powerful visualization tools that facilitate the display and
analysis of images
• MATLAB has a large and active user community, making it easier to find
support, tutorials, and resources online
16
Reading an image MATLAB
a = imread('football.jpg’);
figure, imshow(a)

a = imread(‘pout.tif’);
figure, imshow(a)

17
Image Size
a = imread('football.jpg');
figure, imshow (a)
Im_size=size(a);

18
Different Planes of the image
• RGB planes of the image
• Red:
• a(:,:,[2 3]) = 0;
• imshow(a);
• Green:
• a(:,:,[1 3]) = 0;
• imshow(a);
• Blue:
• a(:,:,[1 2]) = 0;
• imshow(a);
