Hi,
You may refer to the below steps in order to load a RAW image in MATLAB and convert a 3D uint8 matrix into a 2D matrix :
- Download and install 'dcraw' on your system which decodes the RAW file and convert into standard 'TIFF' and 'PPM' image formats.
- Use 'imread' function to load the PPM file as a 3D matrix using the below command :
rawImage = imread('your_raw_image_file.ppm');
- Convert the obtained 3D image into a 2D matrix by converting it to grayscale using 'rgb2gray' function.
grayImage = rgb2gray(rawImage);
After converting to a 2D matrix, you can proceed with white balancing, black leveling, and other calibration steps using the grayscale image.
To know more about 'imread' and 'rgb2gray' functions, you may refer to the link below :
Hope this helps.
Thankyou
