Overview
This chapter contains two exercises to get you started doing image processing using MATLAB and the Image Processing Toolbox. The exercises include sections called "Here's What Just Happened" so that you can read further about the operations you just used. In addition, the exercises contain cross-references to other sections in this manual that have in-depth discussions on the concepts presented in the examples.
All of the images displayed by the exercises in this chapter are supplied with the Image Processing Toolbox. Note that the images shown in this documentation differ slightly from what you see on your screen because the surrounding MATLAB figure window has been removed to save space.
Exercise 1 -- Some Basic Topics covers the basic tasks of reading and displaying an image, adjusting its contrast, and writing it back to disk. This exercise introduces you to one of the supported image types (the intensity image) and to one of the numeric storage classes used for images (uint8). Exercise 2 -- Advanced Topics includes more sophisticated topics, such as components labeling and feature measurement, which are two of the many specialized types of image processing that you can perform using the Image Processing Toolbox.
