Syntax

range = getrangefromclass(I)

Description

range = getrangefromclass(I) returns the default display range of the image I based on its class type.

example

Examples

Open Live Script

Read a sample image of data type uint8.

Im = imread('peppers.png');
imshow(Im)

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Get the display range from the image. Images of type uint8 have pixel values in the range [0, 255].

rangeIm = getrangefromclass(Im)
rangeIm = 1×2

     0   255

Convert the image from type uint8 to type double.

RGB = im2double(Im);

Get the display range of the new image. The pixel values are in the range [0, 1], which is consistent with how the MATLAB® software interprets images of type double.

rangeRGB = getrangefromclass(RGB)
rangeRGB = 1×2

     0     1

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input image, specified as a numeric array or logical array.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Display range, returned as a 2-element numeric vector of the form [min max].

  • For single and double data, getrangefromclass returns the range [0 1] to be consistent with the way MATLAB® software interprets images of type double and single.

  • For integer data, getrangefromclass returns the minimum and maximum representable values for that integer class. For example, if the class is uint8, the dynamic range is [0 255].

  • For logical data, getrangefromclass returns the range [0 1].
