what should I do to convert matrix X and map in imread function into the way it suppose to be????

1 view (last 30 days)
when I use imread(X, map)... function for a picture and write whos, matrix X and matrix map suppose to be a [n m] and [n 3] respectively. However, when I do it, matrix X and map will be shown as [n m 3] and [0 0] respectively! what should I do to convert it into the way it suppose to be????

The map is returned as empty if it is a truecolor image. If you want to convert it to an indexed image for some reason, use rgb2ind()

rgb2ind() does an approximation.
[X,map] = rgb2ind(RGB,n) converts the RGB image to an indexed image X using minimum variance quantization and dithering. map contains at most n colors. n must be less than or equal to 65,536.
So you tell it how many colors you want your map to be, and it figures out the set of colors that gives you the least total error between original colors and the colors in the output map.

Thanks a lot...actually I reviewed the wavelet 2D in Matlab wavelet toolbox book. There is an example that it converts an indexed image to gray scale before starts decomposing. I copied it exactly for my image but in one line an error pops up that I dont know why?? my program is this:
GOH = imread('hslc_L9.jpg'); [m,p,r] = size(GOH); [X2,map] = rgb2ind(GOH, m); R = map(X2,1); R = reshape(R,size(X2)); G = map(X2,2); G = reshape(G,size(X2)); B = map(X2,3); B = reshape(B,size(X2));
in line 4 this error pops up: Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
