How to extract the value pixel values from an image or masked image?

I need the values of the pixels from an image. I need values for each pixel separately.

This is so vague, just like the original question. If you have read in your image with imread() or gotten it some other way, like from a video camera, then you have your pixels already and you just need to reference them like the Answers below. Please explain in detail why the answers below do not give you any pixel values.

Oh that's easy. Say you have an image called myimage. Then to detect pixels:
haspixels = ~isempty(myimage);
You're welcome.

Not sure what you mean. The image itself is a collection of pixel values. To get the pixel value at one particular (row, column) location, you can just specify the index:
grayLevel = grayImage(row, column);
or you can use impixel():
rgbColor = impixel(rgbImage, column, row);

Hello @Image Analyst
Today I used ginput over my image to get the x y coordinates. However, instead getting for example an x y values [40 80] I'm getting [40.12 80.07]. Why this is happening? any lead?
Anyway when using the weird X Y coordinates with the command impixel I get pixel values, however How can I know if I'm getting the value of the pixel I really want??

That's the way ginput works - it gives you floating point values. You need to round to get array indexes of row and column
[x, y] = ginput(1);
row = round(y);
column = round(x);
Remember that row is y and column is x so don't make the mistake of saying yourImage(x, y) to reference pixels -- it's yourImage(y, x) which is yourImage(row, column).
pixelValue = yourImage(row, column); % If it's a gray scale image.
pixelValue = yourImage(row, column, :); % If it's an RGB Color image. pixelValue will be a 1x3 vector of [r,g,b] values.

You can get the histogram of pixel values using imhist.
For example:
1) Grayscale image
Image = imread('coins.png');
[count,x] = imhist(Image);
2) RGB image
Image = imread('peppers.png');
[count,x] = imhist(Image(:,:,1)); % select one of 3 channels
or use rgb2gray:
Image = imread('peppers.png');
[count,x] = imhist(rgb2gray(Image));

Hi Dhanya,
you can access to a specific pixel by typing : figure_name(x_pos,y_pos) .
In the MATLAB workspace, most images are represented as two-dimensional arrays (matrices), in which each element of the matrix corresponds to a single pixel in the displayed image. (from Matlab documentation )
This matrix can be represented in several types as double, uint8, uint16. It can also be RGB, intensity, or indexed types.
I highly recommend reading to understand the differences.

My comment was addressed to Gustavo whose code is just a more convoluted
numPixelsInImage = numel(riceImage);
His length(array(1:end)) (which is the same as length(array(:)) by the way) reshapes the image into a vector just to know how many pixels there are. Indeed it (and numel) only works with grayscale images.
And, yes reshape does not reorder the pixels. However, it does use some cpu cycles for a completely unnecessary operation.

I was told by a Mathworker that (:) does not reshape the array into a column vector. So passing it into size() or length() would not reshape it. He said that if you assign that to a NEW variable, that new variable will be of a columnar shape, but that is a new variable and there is no temporary variable that is created with a column shape nor is the original array reshaped into a column vector. Only a new variable would have that shape. Fine point though.

Accessing a pixel is similar to retrieving element from matrix, here are two examples :
for gray scale image :
X=imread('circuit.tif');
X(10,60)
for multi channel image :
Y=imread('autumn.tif');
Y(10,60,1) %R
Y(10,60,2) %G

after finding the count of each pixel value seperately, i want to add the counts of a range of pixel values and get the total, how to write its code in matlab??

How can i compare pixel value of an image
pixelvalue<300
And i want all the pixels whose values are above 300. can anyone help

% Since you're specifying a single scalar threshold, I assume your image is grayscale
% If you want a binary of the same size just use, assuming your image is already in memory
% in variable YourImage;
YourThreshold=300;
RESULT=YourImage<YourThreshold;
%If your image is in a File;
YourImage=imread(fullfile(YourImagePath,YourImageFileName));
RESULT=YourImage<YourThreshold;
%Now if you want this result as a vector of Ncols x Nrows elements, just do
RESULT_VECTOR=RESULT(1:end);
%The indexes for these pixels are simply
MY_PIX_IDX=find(RESULT_VECTOR)
%Now if you want to extract the pixel values satisfying the condition
YOUR_PIXELS_BELOW_THRES=YourImage(MY_PIX_IDX);
The question is indeed a bit vague to give a completely operative solution, hope these hints help.

This is not an answer to @Dhanya and should have been it's own question. Anyway...
To get a binary image "map" of where those pixels are, you can do
binaryImage = yourImage < 300;
Now these might be some irregularly-shaped "blobs" as we call them in image processing. To extract those pixels in the blobs into one giant list (vector), you can do
listOfPixelValues = yourImage(binaryImage);
If you want the values of each blob separate from all other blobs, you need to call regionprops
props = regionprops(binaryImage, 'PixelValues');
props is a structure array. You can also ask for the data to come back in a table instead of a structure array if you want.
