I have 135 images, taken one after another. I want to plot the intensity of each pixel (let's say 25 x 25 pixels) as a function of time. How can I do that?

Eg:

s=rand(3,3,10);   % 10 images of size 3x3 in a 3d matrix s
pixel1(1,:)=s(1,1,:);  % pixel 1,1 from each matrix into variable pixel1
plot(pixel1)  % plot pixel1

Hope this helps

A plot of 625 curves (one curve for each of the 25 by 25 pixels) showing the pixel intensity as a function of image number (time the photo was taken) won't be very informative because it will be too cluttered. Why don't you take the mean of the 25 by 25 region and then plot only that one curve? Or else make the frames into a movie with the im2frame() function. I have demos for all that if you're interested.

You really don't want 625 plots on your screen at the same time, do you? You'd barely be able to see them!

Here's the demo:

% Demo macro to extract frames and get frame means from an avi movie
% and save individual frames to separate image files.
% Also computes the mean gray value of the color channels.
clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all;  % Close all imtool figures.
clear;  % Erase all existing variables.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 14;
% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
% (The line of code below is from Brett Shoelson of The Mathworks.)
if(~isdeployed)
  cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
end
% Open the rhino.avi demo movie that ships with MATLAB.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');
movieFullFileName = fullfile(folder, 'rhinos.avi');
% Check to see that it exists.
if ~exist(movieFullFileName, 'file')
  strErrorMessage = sprintf('File not found:\n%s\nYou can choose a new one, or cancel', movieFullFileName);
  response = questdlg(strErrorMessage, 'File not found', 'OK - choose a new movie.', 'Cancel', 'OK - choose a new movie.');
  if strcmpi(response, 'OK - choose a new movie.')
    [baseFileName, folderName, FilterIndex] = uigetfile('*.avi');
    if ~isequal(baseFileName, 0)
      movieFullFileName = fullfile(folderName, baseFileName);
    else
      return;
    end
  else
    return;

I have video of a whole face, but only want to plot a graph of total redness in forehead as an example

I guess you can define a ROI (rectangular for example) and crop the image there, then average the pixel intensities inside this ROI (it will become a vector9 and then plot versus time.
