The Image Processing Toolbox software is a collection of functions that extend the capability of the MATLAB numeric computing environment. The toolbox supports a wide range of image processing operations, including
Spatial image transformations
Morphological operations
Neighborhood and block operations
Linear filtering and filter design
Transforms
Image analysis and enhancement
Image registration
Deblurring
Region of interest operations
Many of the toolbox functions are MATLAB M-files, a series of MATLAB statements that implement specialized image processing algorithms. You can view the MATLAB code for these functions using the statement
type function_name
You can extend the capabilities of the toolbox by writing your own M-files, or by using the toolbox in combination with other toolboxes, such as the Signal Processing Toolbox™ software and the Wavelet Toolbox™ software.
For a list of the new features in this version of the toolbox, see the Release Notes documentation.
To determine if the Image Processing Toolbox software is installed on your system, type this command at the MATLAB prompt.

When you enter this command, MATLAB displays information about the version of MATLAB you are running, including a list of all toolboxes installed on your system and their version numbers.
For information about installing the toolbox, see the installation guide for your platform.
For the most up-to-date information about system requirements, see the system requirements page, available in the products area at The MathWorks Web site (www.mathworks.com).
The MathWorks provides several products that are relevant to the kinds of tasks you can perform with the Image Processing Toolbox software and that extend the capabilities of MATLAB. For information about these related products, see www.mathworks.com/products/image/related.html.
The Image Processing Toolbox software is compilable with the MATLAB® Compiler™ except for the following functions that launch GUIs:
