Hii guys..
I want to get the pixels information of a black and white image in 8 bit binary format.
what is the best way to do that?

Divya - please clarify with an example of what you are looking for. Do you have a mxn image of unsigned integers? Are the integers already 8-bit? Do you want to write out (to text file) or put in a cell array the 8-bit binary strings for each pixel?

Hi Divya,
You can use impixel function to determine the values of one or more pixels in an image and return the values in a variable.
After getting the pixel values you can convert those values into 8-bit binary vector by using de2bi function.
You can refer to the following MATLAB Answers for better understanding:
I hope this helps.

Try this. Adapt as needed.
% Create some sample data - a small image.
grayImage = uint8(10*magic(5))
[rows, columns] = size(grayImage)
% Loop over all locations giving the gray level in decimal and binary.
for col = 1 : columns
for row = 1 : rows
thisGrayLevel = grayImage(row, col);
binaryString = dec2bin(thisGrayLevel);
fprintf('grayImage(%d, %d) = %d = "%s".\n', ...
row, col, thisGrayLevel, binaryString);
end
end
You'll see
grayImage =

230 50 70 140 160

grayImage(1, 1) = 170 = "10101010".
grayImage(2, 1) = 230 = "11100110".

grayImage(3, 3) = 130 = "10000010".
grayImage(4, 3) = 190 = "10111110".
