Image Processing Toolbox

Preface

What Is the Image Processing Toolbox?

The Image Processing Toolbox is a collection of functions that extend the capability of the MATLAB^® numeric computing environment.

What Can You Do with the Image Processing Toolbox?

The toolbox supports a wide range of image processing operations, including:

• Geometric operations
• Neighborhood and block operations
• Linear filtering and filter design
• Transforms
• Image analysis and enhancement
• Binary image operations
• Region of interest operations

Many of the toolbox functions are MATLAB M-files, which contain MATLAB code that implements 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 Image Processing Toolbox by writing your own M-files, or by using the toolbox in combination with other toolboxes, such as the Signal Processing Toolbox and the Wavelet Toolbox.
