How to adjust the intensity of grayscale image?

I create a 200x200 image then convert it to grayscale, how can i adjust its intensity between 0-255?

Use function imcontrast

There are lots of ways.

grayImage = imadjust(grayImage);
grayImage = rescale(grayImage, 0, 255);
grayImage = 255 * mat2gray(grayImage);

i get totally black image in all combination with the following code:

Image = zeros(200,200,3)

Image_1 = rgb2gray(Image)

grayImage = imadjust(Image_1)

grayImage = rescale(grayImage,0,255)

grayImage = 255*mat2gray(grayImage)

They are not totally black. Did you look at them in the workspace? They will have non-zero values. Try displaying with [] as the second argument to imshow:

imshow(grayImage, []);

Of course with the sample code you gave, where you defined Image as a totally black image, you will get a totally black image even after it's contrast stretched. You have to use an image that actually has some structure to it and is not all black.

Don't use Image as the name of a variable since there is a built-in function image().

grayImage = imread('pout.tif');
subplot(1, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage);
if ndims(grayImage) == 3
    grayImage = rgb2gray(grayImage);
end
grayImage = imadjust(grayImage);
subplot(1, 2, 2);
imshow(grayImage, []);

yes，sir，may be use

im = im2uint8(mat2gray(im));

% create a 200x200 image
im = rand(200,200,3);
% then convert it to grayscale
im = rgb2gray(im);
im(1:10,1:10)
