error in displaying an image in axes of GUI

sir.... i cant load the image in the following link....

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/5685/78540773.png

it is showing error as

    ??? Error using ==> imageDisplayValidateParams>validateCData at 114

    Error in ==> imageDisplayValidateParams at 31
    common_args.CData = validateCData(common_args.CData,image_type);

        gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

    Error in ==>
    @(hObject,eventdata)denoisemain('Select_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))

please can anyone help me to rectify this error....

What is the code for denoisemain() ?

[Elysi Cochin]

 global inputImage
 [filename pathname]=uigetfile('*.tif','Select An Image');
 inputImage=imread([pathname filename]);
 axes(handles.axes1);
 imshow(inputImage);
 axis equal;axis off;

this is what i did.... it works for other images i have... but for this image it is showing error.... please rectify it sir....

[Walter Roberson]

You left out the directory separator between the path and the filename. Use fullfile() to build your filenames.

inputImage = imread( fullfile(pathname, filename) );

After that you could display size(inputImage) . I have a suspicion that perhaps it is not grayscale or RGB (e.g., might be CMYK or have multiple channels)

[Elysi Cochin]

sir when i did

 [r c d] = size(inputImage );

i got d = 4..... i wanted to convert it to gray-scale image..... is it possible sir.... please do reply sir....

[Walter Roberson]

The image is an RGB image that contains alpha data. You will need to use

if size(inputImage,3) == 4  %alpha
  inputImage = inputImage(:,:,1:3);  %strip alpha
end
if size(inputImage,3) == 3
  inputImage = rgb2gray(inputImage); %convert to grayscale
end

thank u sir.... saved lot of my time.... thank u sir...

Hello, I have following code to plot 4 layers as,

Clafimage= cat(3, A, B, C, D); figure, ClafImage=imshow(Clafimage,[],'InitialMagnification','fit');

But it is showing below error,

Error using imageDisplayValidateParams>validateCData (line 117) Unsupported dimension.

Error in imageDisplayValidateParams (line 31) common_args.CData = validateCData(common_args.CData,image_type);

Error in imageDisplayParseInputs (line 79) common_args = imageDisplayValidateParams(common_args);

Error in imshow (line 220) [common_args,specific_args] = ...

Can anyone suggest how 4 or more layers can be show as a single classified image?

Thanks,

Keshav

Keshav,

In MATLAB, the third dimension is interpret as color channels, and MATLAB currently only supports displaying in RGB (though Alpha can also be used in calling sequences.)

To show multiple layers, you need to image() or imagesc() or imshow() all of them into the same place, and you need to specify AlphaData so that the parts below them are transparent in appropriate places.

For example,

image(A);
hold on
image(B, 'AlphaData', double(B~=0));
image(C, 'AlphaData', double(C~=0));
image(D, 'AlphaData', double(D~=0));
hold off

Here, D will show up in the places that D is non-zero, and in the places that D is 0 you will be able to see what is underneath. Underneath will show C in the places it is non-zero and it will show underneath that for the places C is zero, and so on.

In the special case where the images are all the same size and none of them are non-zero where any of the others are non-zero, then you can use

image(A+B+C+D);
