Thread Subject: how to take input image from user

how to take input image from user through kerboard for
image processing? as we take value for any variabe say 'x'
from user through command scanf,similarly how to take
image in Matlab.

What exactly do you mean by an image through a keyboard?

If you mean you ask the user to give matlab an image file
(.gif, .jpg, .bmp etc), then you can use the uigetfile
function to get a file name, and then use imread to load it
into matlab (although this isn't exactly getting the image
"from keyboard").

If you mean you want the user to somehow "type" the image
with the keyboard... then, other than asking them to type a
series of 1s or 0s, I'm a little lost.

Thanks,
Sven.

image through keyboard means, for example if we type 'c'
from keyboard then matlab should take 'cameraman.tif',if
we type 'f' then matlab should take 'football.jpg' etc;
and after taking the image the program should use the
image which we have provided to the program(like here we
have provided 'cameraman.tif').so what is the command or
function which will ask us 'which image you want to
process?' and then we can provide any image of our choice.

Won't an input box help?

If your program knows the names of the possible images in advance,
then consider using the menu() function, or the input() function
with the 'string' option.
