Matlab Image Display - matlab

Below is a function I wrote in Matlab. The function works correctly but the output displays three different images of different outputs.
function Img = power_Law(Img)
temp = Img;
[a,b]=size(Img);
C=0.2;
omega=0.2;
for i=1:a
for j=1:b
img(i,j)=C*power(temp(i,j),omega);
end
end
imshow(img);
end
My Question is am I missing any conversions? Why wouldn't the output be a single Image.
Here is a link of the output.

You will notice that in Matlab and Octave operation performed for matrices are dramatically faster comparing to loops over their elements. Also loops will create a possibility to make a mistake.
Let say Img is of size 900x1200x3, then img will be of size 900x3600 because [a,b]=size(img) returns a = 900, b = 3600 as Img is three dimensional array.
Then proper code will look something like this, note it doesn't change dimensionality of img2
function img2 = power_law(img, C, omega)
img2 = C * power(img, omega);
imshow(img2);
end

How to make a single 256*256*N (double) .mat from multiple .png image

There are 100 PNG images,size=256*256,channel=1
Here is my test code(test for save 2 images in a mat):
label = {sprintf('%01d.png\n', 0:100)};
img = regexp(label{:}(1:end-1), '\n', 'split');
F1=im2double(imread(img{1}));
F2=im2double(imread(img{2}));
label=cat(1,F1,F2);`
save('test.mat', 'label')
-> The test.mat is 256X256X2 double
However,I want to save 100 images in the mat.
My idea is F1~100 <=> 1~100.png then cat(1,F1,F2...F100),and save at last.
So I try to use eval() in for loop create F1~100 to load 1~100.png correspondingly
like this:
for i=1:100
eval(["F",num2str(c),"=",im2double(imread(img_names{c}))]);
end
But it's not work.
Any solution for this problem?
Just preallocate your matrix:
last=im2double(imread(img_names{c}))
F(:,:,length(img_names))=last;
then just loop and fill
for i=1:100
F(:,:,i)=im2double(imread(img_names{i}));
end
This will only work for images that are the same size, and grayscale images.
NOTE: eval is the worst MATLAB function and its highly discouraged by Mathworks themselves. Never use it.

Storing two variables image in one variable in matlab

I have an RGB image which I converted into index image using rgb2index. The resultant image is stored in two variable (as matlab requirement). But I want to have it in one variable for further processing. This is what I have tried. The resultant is black.
clc
clear all
close all
%%
I = imread ('Daniel1_SRGB.png');
[in_I,map] = rgb2ind(I,3,'nodither');
imshow (in_I,map)
imwrite (in_I,map,'new_image.PNG','png')
new_I = imread ('new_image.png');
imshow((new_image));
But if do imshow((new_image,map)) it gives me the correct answer. I want it to be independent of variable map.
To convert a indexed image to RGB use:
new_I = ind2rgb(in_I,map)
Not the most elegant solution but this works.
resR = reshape(map(in_I(:)+1,1), size(in_I));
resG = reshape(map(in_I(:)+1,2), size(in_I));
resB = reshape(map(in_I(:)+1,3), size(in_I));
res = cat(3, resR, resG, resB);
imshow(res);
Edit: Modified answer to include rayryeng's improvement.

Vectorization of matlab code for faster execution

My code works in the following manner:
1.First, it obtains several images from the training set
2.After loading these images, we find the normalized faces,mean face and perform several calculation.
3.Next, we ask for the name of an image we want to recognize
4.We then project the input image into the eigenspace, and based on the difference from the eigenfaces we make a decision.
5.Depending on eigen weight vector for each input image we make clusters using kmeans command.

QUESTIONS:
1.It is working fine for M=50(i.e Training set contains 50 images) but not for M=1200(i.e Training set contains 1200 images).It is not showing any error.There is no output.I waited for 10 min still there is no output.What is the problem?Where i was wrong?
To answer your second question, you can simply 'save' any generated variable as a .mat file in your working directory (Current folder) which can be accessed later. So in your code, if the 'training eigenfaces' is given by the variable 'u', you can use the following:
save('eigenface.mat','u')
This creates a .mat file with the name eigenface.mat which contains the variable 'u', the eigenfaces. Note that this variable is saved in your Current Folder.
In a later instance when you are trying out with your test data, you can simply 'load' this variable:
load('eigenface.mat')
This automatically loads 'u' into your workspace.
You can also save additional variables in the same .mat file if necessary
save('eigenface.mat','u','v'...)
The answer to the first question is that the code is simply not done running yet. Vectorizing the code (instead of using a for loop), as suggested in the comment section above can improve the speed significantly.
[EDIT]
Since the images are not very big, the code is not significantly slowed down by the first for loop. You can improve the performance of the rest of the code by vectorizing the code. Vectorized operations are faster than for-loops. This link might be useful in understanding vectorization:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/vectorization.html
For example, the second for-loop can be replaced by the following vectorized form, as suggested in the comments
tempS = double(S);
meanS = mean(S,1);
stdS = std(S,0,1);
S = (tempS - meanS) ./ stdS;
Use MATLAB's timer functions tic and toc for finding how long the first for-loop alone is taking to execute. Add tic before the for loop and toc after it. If the time taken for 50 images is about 104 seconds, then it would be significantly more for 1200 images.

MATLAB reduce function?

I would like to add a cell array of images together using imadd, but imadd only takes two arguments. Is there a reduce function in MATLAB which I could use add all of these images together without writing a for loop?
images = {im1, im2, im3};
sum = reduce(#imadd, images);
You could just use an array with an extra dimension. E.g. for 2-d (grayscale images)
images = {im1, im2, im3};
imarr = cat(3, images{:});
imsum = sum(imarr, 3);
Of course there's no need to create the cell array in the first place; you could go straight to
imarr = cat(3, im1, im2, im3);
imsum = sum(imarr, 3);
or even
imsum = sum(cat(ndims(im1)+1, im1, im2, im3),ndims(im1)+1);
which also more generally combines any dimensional matrices.
Since you are using the Image Processing Toolbox, the IMLINCOMB function (linear combination of images) can also be used, just give all coefficients as one:
imsum = imlincomb(1,im1, 1,im2, 1,im3)

Different function returns from command line and within function

I have an extremely bizzare situation: I have a function in MATLAB which calls three other main functions and produces two figures for me. The function reads in an input jpeg image, crops it, segments it using kmeans clustering, and outputs 2 figures to the screen - the original image and the clustered image with the cluster centers indicated. Here is the function in MATLAB:
function [textured_avg_x photo_avg_x] = process_database_images()
clear all
warning off %#ok
type_num_max = 3; % type is 1='texture', 2='graph', or 3='photo'
type_num_max = 1;
img_max_num_photo = 100; % 400 photo images
img_max_num_other = 100; % 100 textured, and graph images
for type_num = 1:2:type_num_max
if(type_num == 3)
img_num_max = img_max_num_photo;
else
img_num_max = img_max_num_other;
end
img_num_max = 1;
for img_num = 1:img_num_max
[type img] = load_image(type_num, img_num);
%img = imread('..\images\445.jpg');
img = crop_image(img);
[IDX k block_bounds features] = segment_image(img);
end
end
end
The function segment_image first shows me the color image that was passed in, performs kmeans clustering, and outputs the clustered image. When I run this function on a particular image, I get 3 clusters (which is not what I expect to get).
When I run the following commands from the MATLAB command prompt:
>> img = imread('..\images\texture\1.jpg');
>> img = crop_image(img);
>> segment_image(img);
then the first image that is displayed by segment_image is the same as when I run the function (so I know that the clustering is done on the same image) but the number of clusters is 16 (which is what I expect).
In fact, when I run my process_database_images() function on my entire image database, EVERY image is evaluated to have 3 clusters (this is a problem), whereas when I test some images individually, I get in the range of 12-16 clusters, which is what I prefer and expect.
Why is there such a discrepancy? Am I having some syntax bug in my process_database_images() function? If more code is required from me (i.e. segment_images function, or crop_image function), please let me know.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I found the source of the problem. In my load_image function, after I call img = imread(filename), I convert the image to double: `img = im2double(img);'. When I comment this line out, I get the desired result. Anyone know why this happens? (and also how I can 'close' this question since I have located the problem).
clear all at the top of your function is unnecessary and may be the source of your trouble.
Also, turning off all warnings is a bad idea since it may mask other problems.
Let's look at this code, simplified by removing redundant code or unused code:
function [textured_avg_x photo_avg_x] = process_database_images()
type_num_max = 1;
img_max_num_photo = 100; % 400 photo images
img_max_num_other = 100; % 100 textured, and graph images
for type_num = 1:2:type_num_max %% 1:2:1 => 1
img_num_max = 1; %This nullfiies everything in the if block above anyways
for img_num = 1:img_num_max %% 1:1 => 1
[type img] = load_image(type_num, img_num); %% Input (1,1)
img = crop_image(img);
[IDX k block_bounds features] = segment_image(img);
end
end
end
It looks like this code runs through the double nested for loop exactly once, maybe that is why you get only one answer, three clusters.
Try calling your function on the command line with the same amount of return values as in the function you wrote. Instead of
>> segment_image(img);
Try:
>> [IDX k block_bounds features] = segment_image(img);
Functions in Matlab check how many return values are expected, and may behave differently depending on that.
