I created an image of a single alphabet at the middle(in white) with its background in black.I changed its font size to 5 different sizes,which are 58 to 66, increment by 2 each time.Next, I need to apply specific intensity difference level on the grayscale image,which is 20%,40%,60%,80%,100%.I am stucked at here, because it needs to apply the pixel value to the alphabet and its background with the corresponding intensity difference level.The formula used is shown as follow:

The code and images are attached as below:

%create blank image
w = 150;
h = 150;
blankImage= 255*ones(w,h,3,'uint8');
%position of the letter in the empty cell
position_x = (w+1)/2;
position_y = (h+1)/2;
% varying the font size, start from 10 to 16
font_start = 58;
font_end = 66;
num_fontsA = font_start:2:font_end;
% get the number of fonts
numImagesA = length(num_fontsA);
% create a cell array with number of fonts to fill in the image in next step
A = cell(1, numImagesA);
noise_start = 0.01;
noise_end = 0.05;
num_noiseimg = noise_start:0.01:noise_end
Total_noiseimg = length(num_noiseimg);
noiseimg_collection = cell(1,Total_noiseimg);
% for loop to create letter 'A' 
% grayscale
% store into the cell array
for i=1:numImagesA
    for font_size = num_fontsA(i)
        image= insertText(blankImage,[position_x position_y],'A','Font','Times New Roman','FontSize',font_size,'TextColor','black','BoxColor','w','BoxOpacity',0,'AnchorPoint','Center');
        grayImage= rgb2gray(image);
        BWImage =  imcomplement(grayImage);
        background = BWImage == 0;
        foreground = ~background;
        Newforegnd = foreground;
%         figure('Name','Background and Object');
        subplot(5,1,i);
        imshow(BWImage);
        axis on;
        title(sprintf('Font size of %d',font_size));
        
        % Apply noise on the image
        % Apply noise on the alphabet, using 0.01 standard deviation
        pos = 1
        for i=0.01:0.01:0.05
            
            noiseimg_collection{pos} = imnoise(BWImage, 'gaussian',0, i);
            
            pos=pos+1
            
        end   
        
    end
end

Hope that anyone can guide me. Thank you!

Isn't it just

intensityDifferencePercent = (100/255) * (max(grayImage(:) - min(grayImage(:)))

or am I missing something?

Could you explain in details the coding you write?Now I write on what I understand from it to check with my understnading.

backgroundGrayLevel = min(grayImage(:))

This line means pick the minimum pixel value from the grayscale image,which will be background?

backgroundImage = backgroundGrayLevel * ones(size(grayImage));

Next, the pixel value will apply with matrix of 1 with the same size of the grayscale image and stores in backgroundImage variable.

foregroundMask = grayImage ~= backgroundImage;

This complement the image matrix in backgroundImage and store in foregroundMask variable.Is this mean backgroundImage is the image matrix for whole background, but you complement it to get the foreground pixels?

meanForegroundGrayLevel = mean(grayImage(foregroundMask))

This is what you explain right? apply the mean value from the foreground image matrix(foregroundMask) of grayscaleimage.

intensityDifferencePercent = (100/255) * (meanForegroundGrayLevel - backgroundGrayLevel)

Lastly,you put the mean value from previous step into the equation along with the minimum pixel value of the background.

But, how do I alter the mean of grayscale image in foreground such that it could be 20%,40%,60%,80%,100% of intensity difference percentage?I am sorry because I am not understand about intensity difference so much.What do you mean by "get less resolution", because noise will be added after the intensity difference percentage applied.Could you explain more on both your code and how to get less resolution? Thank you.

With comments:

% Find the min gray level in the image containing the A and the background.
% The minimum gray level is assumed to be the background.
backgroundGrayLevel = min(grayImage(:))
% Create an image that is the same size as the original image but 
% has the background gray level everywhere.
backgroundImage = backgroundGrayLevel * ones(size(grayImage));
% Find the letter.  This will be pixels that have a gray level brighter
% than the background.  This will be an logical image that is the same size
% as the original image but is true where there is a letter, and false
% where there is background.
foregroundMask = (grayImage ~= backgroundImage);
% Get a 1-D list of pixel values by passing in the mask as a logical
% matrix.  Even though the mask is 2-D the list will be a 1-D vector.  Then
% take the mean of all those pixels to get the mean gray level.
meanForegroundGrayLevel = mean(grayImage(foregroundMask))
% Compute the formula based on the mean of the non-background pixels, and
% the background pixels.
intensityDifferencePercent = (100/255) * (meanForegroundGrayLevel - backgroundGrayLevel)

The percentage is what it is. You can't force it to be something, unless you change the original input image of course.

If the image is just black and white, then the contrast will be 100%. If however the letter is not pure white, but has some pixels that are less than 255 due to anti-aliasing, then the mean gray level of the image will be less than 255. As the letter gets smaller, the proportion of pixels that are less than 255 will be greater, and as the image gets more resolution, the proportion of anti-aliased edge pixels will be a smaller proportion of the total letter and so the mean gray level will be closer to 255.

So that's it, in excrutiating detail.

You can use rescale(). Just figure out what the upper limit intensity should be and call rescale. For example

highIntensity = 0.2 * 255; % 20%
outputImage = uint8(rescale(inputImage, 0, highIntensity));

Wow,I didn't think of this method, it is amazing.Thank you for your guidance.
