Convert image to 16-bit unsigned integers

Syntax

J = im2uint16(I)
J = im2uint16(I,'indexed')

Description

example

J = im2uint16(I) converts the grayscale, RGB, or binary image I to uint16, rescaling or offsetting the data as necessary.

If the input image is of class uint16, then the output image is identical. If the input image is of class logical, then im2uint16 changes true-valued elements to 65535.

You optionally can perform the conversion using a GPU (requires Parallel Computing Toolbox™).

J = im2uint16(I,'indexed') converts the indexed image I to uint16, offsetting the data if necessary.

Convert the array to class uint16.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input image, specified as a numeric or logical array of any size and dimension.

  • If I is a grayscale or RGB image, then it can be uint8, uint16, double, logical, single, or int16.

  • If I is an indexed image, then it can be uint8, uint16, double or logical.

    Note

    It is not always possible to convert an indexed image to uint8. If the indexed image is of class double, then the maximum value must be 65536 or less.

  • If I is a binary image, then it must be logical.

Data Types: single | double | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | logical

Output Arguments

collapse all

Image with class uint16, returned as a numeric array with the same size and dimensionality as I.

Data Types: uint16
