Hi friends, this is my first tutorial on Matlab image processing .The purpose of this tutorial is to gain familiarity with MATLAB’s Image Processing Toolbox. Let us start the basic of image processing with a very simple example i.e. converting a color image of any format (ex. jpeg,jpg,bmp,etc) into a grayscale image.
MATLAB Program for Color to Grayscale Conversion
Step 1:
Initially you have to define a matrix A with a path of the image that you have to convert. For this purpose if you cant copy a path of the image file, just install this small software (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/downloads/pathc400.zip) after installing this software simply right click on image you will see an option for copy long url. OK after copying the image path.
Step 2:
Define matrix B with the image format. In this case jpg. You can change the format you have.
Step 3:
C=rgb2gray(B). Here rgb stands for RedGreenBlue i.e. color image gray stands for converting it into grayscale.

% Load a color .jpg image and convert it into grayscale
A=’H:New photoImagesPhoto1619.jpg’; %designate matrix A as the spcified file
B=imread(A,’jpg’) %matrix B loaded with jpg file specified by A
figure (1),imshow(B); %show image B in figure window 1
C=rgb2gray(B) %convert color image to grayscale image
figure (2),imshow(C); %show image C in figure window 2
