hdrwrite with grayscale HDR image

Question

0 个投票

Good evening everyone,

I have an HDR image to save, but it's just a grayscale image. "hdrwrite" wants in input a 3D matrix, so right now I'm doing like this:

hdr(:,:,1) = imgHDR;
hdr(:,:,2) = imgHDR;
hdr(:,:,3) = imgHDR;
hdrwrite(hdr,'result.hdr');

It's working correctly but I feel like it's a waste of space. Why do I need to save 3 equals channel if it's just a grayscale image?

How can I save a grayscale radiance map (.hdr) and save some storage space?

Thank you for you help

Hi,

You can save storage space by storing the zeros in the other two dimensions in order to save memory. As per your code, you can use the below code:

Hdr=zeros(size(imgHDR,1),size(imgHDR,2),3); 
Hdr(:,:,1)=imgHDR; 
hdrwrite(Hdr,'result.hdr'); 

Hope it will help.
