Syntax

J = im2uint16(I)
J = im2uint16(I,"indexed")

Description

J = im2uint16(I) converts the grayscale, RGB, or binary image I to data type uint16, rescaling or offsetting the data as necessary.

If the input image is of data type uint16, then the output image is identical. If the input image is of data type logical, then im2uint16 changes true-valued elements to 65535.

example

J = im2uint16(I,"indexed") converts the indexed image I to uint16, offsetting the data if necessary.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input image, specified as a numeric array or logical array of any size and dimension.

  • If I is a grayscale or RGB image, then it can be of data type uint8, uint16, int16, double, single, or logical. The im2uint16 function expects images of data type double and single to have values in the range [0, 1]. If I has values outside the range [0, 1], then you can rescale values to the expected range by using the rescale function.

  • If I is an indexed image, then it can be of data type uint8, uint16, double, or logical. If the indexed image is of data type double, then the maximum value must be 65536 or less.

  • If I is a binary image, then it must be logical.

Data Types: single | double | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | logical

Output Arguments

Image with data type uint16, returned as a numeric array of the same size as the input image I.
