wcodemat

Extended pseudocolor matrix scaling

collapse all in page

    Syntax

    y = wcodemat(x)
    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes)
    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes,opt)
    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes,opt,absol)

    Description

    wcodemat rescales an input matrix to a specified range for display. If the specified range is the full range of the current colormap, wcodemat is similar in behavior to imagesc.

    y = wcodemat(x) rescales the matrix x as integers in the range [1,16].

    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes) rescales x as integers in the range [1,nbcodes].

    example

    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes,opt) rescales x along the dimension specified by opt.

    y = wcodemat(x,nbcodes,opt,absol) rescales X based on the absolute values of the entries in x if absol is nonzero, or based on the signed values of x if absol is equal to zero.

    Examples

    Open Live Script

    Load an image.

    load woman

    Obtain the range of the colormap.

    NBCOL = size(map,1)
    NBCOL = 
255

    Obtain the single-level discrete wavelet transform of the image using the Haar wavelet.

    [cA1,cH1,cV1,cD1] = dwt2(X,"db1");

    Scale the level-one approximation coefficients globally to the full range of the colormap.

    cA1scaled = wcodemat(cA1,NBCOL);

    Display the approximation coefficients without scaling and with scaling.

    image(cA1);
colormap(map)
title("Unscaled Image")

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Unscaled Image contains an object of type image.

    image(cA1scaled)
colormap(map)
title("Scaled Image")

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Scaled Image contains an object of type image.

    Display histograms of the unscaled and scaled approximation coefficients.

    subplot(1,2,1)
histogram(cA1)
title("Unscaled")
subplot(1,2,2)
histogram(cA1scaled)
title("Scaled")

    Figure contains 2 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title Unscaled contains an object of type histogram. Axes object 2 with title Scaled contains an object of type histogram.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Input, specified as a matrix.

    Data Types: double

    Upper bound of range to rescale x as integers, specified as a positive integer.

    Data Types: double

    Dimension along which to rescale the matrix, specified as one of the following:

    • "mat" or "m" — rescale x globally

    • "column" or "c" — rescale x column-wise

    • "row" or "r" — rescale x row-wise

    Data Types: string

    Rescale basis, specified as a scalar. If absol is nonzero, wcodemat rescales x based on the absolute values of the elements of x. If absol is equal to zero, wcodemat rescales x based on the signed values of the elements of x.

    Data Types: double
