Twice in the last month, I have read comments about certain problems being intrinsically hard to solve. In a fascinating book I just started to read called Algorithms to Live By, authors Brian... read more >>

I was looking at some documentation yesterday and saw something that I had forgotten. When you write a JPEG2000 image file using imwrite, you can specify a desired compression ratio.OK, that sounds... read more >>

MATLAB R2016a shipped earlier this month. It has a new feature that is a personal favorite: the Pause button. Have you ever sat watching MATLAB busily running your code, thinking that it was... read more >>

Last week I talked about displaying gray-scale and binary images. In that post, I showed how to control the grayscale range. For example, the call imshow(I,[0.4 0.6]) displays the matrix I as a... read more >>

In my previous posts (February 9, February 22, and February 29), I discussed the truecolor and indexed image display models in MATLAB, as well as the direct and scaled variations of indexed display. The Image Processing Toolbox has conventions for two additional image display models: grayscale and binary. These conventions are used by the MATLAB image display function imshow, which originated in the Image Processing Toolbox.... read more >>

In my last post on pixel colors, I described the truecolor and indexed image display models in MATLAB, and I promised to talk to soon about a third model. That model is the scaled indexed image, a... read more >>
