im2double

Convert image to double precision

collapse all in page

Syntax

  • I2 = im2double(I)
    example
  • I2 = im2double(I,'indexed')

Description

example

I2 = im2double(I) converts the intensity image I to double precision, rescaling the data if necessary. I can be a grayscale intensity image, a truecolor image, or a binary image.

If the input image is of class double, then the output image is identical.

I2 = im2double(I,'indexed') converts the indexed image I to double precision, offsetting the data if necessary.

Convert an array to class double on the GPU. This example requires the Parallel Computing Toolbox™.

I1 = gpuArray(reshape(uint8(linspace(1,255,25)),[5 5]));
I2 = im2double(I1);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input image, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

  • If I is an intensity or truecolor image, it can be uint8, uint16, double, logical, single, or int16.

  • If I is an indexed image, it can be uint8, uint16, double or logical.

  • If I is a binary image, it must be logical.

If the Parallel Computing Toolbox is installed, I can be a gpuArray and im2double converts I on a GPU.

Data Types: single | double | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | logical
