MATLAB: How to change particular pixel color of a binary image to other color

colormapimage processingImage Processing Toolbox

Sir,

I have a binary image and i want to change the color of the black pixel to green. How do i do that ? Please help. Thanks in advance.

This is the binary image:

Try this:

%grayImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
%binaryImage = grayImage > 128;
%subplot(1,2,1);
%imshow(binaryImage);
redAndBlueChannel = 255 * uint8(binaryImage);
greenChannel = 255 * ones(size(binaryImage), 'uint8'); % Green Everywhere.
rgbImage = cat(3, redAndBlueChannel, greenChannel, redAndBlueChannel);
%subplot(1,2,2);
%imshow(rgbImage);

Remove the % if you want to demo it using a standard MATLAB demo image.

Convert to grayscale and then threshold and find the bounding box

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. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;
% Read in the color image.
folder = pwd;
baseFileName = 'm2.bmp';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % Didn't find it there.  Check the search path for it.
  fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
    % Still didn't find it.  Alert user.
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist.', fullFileName);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    return;
  end
end
rgbImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image.  numberOfColorBands should be = 3.
[rows, columns, numberOfColorBands] = size(rgbImage);
% Display the original color image.
subplot(2, 3, 1);
imshow(rgbImage, []);
axis on;

drawnow;
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
% Histogram the red channel, but there is a huge spike at 255 so let's not count those.
subplot(2, 3, 2);
grayImage = rgb2gray(rgbImage);
imshow(grayImage, []);

subplot(2, 3, 3);
histogram(grayImage(grayImage<255))

someThresholdValue = 150;
binaryImage = grayImage > someThresholdValue;
% Take largest blob
binaryImage = bwareafilt(binaryImage, 1);
subplot(2, 3, 4);
imshow(binaryImage);
grid on;
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Label the binary image.
labeledImage = bwlabel(binaryImage);
props = regionprops(labeledImage, 'BoundingBox');
bbox = props.BoundingBox
croppedImageRGB = imcrop(rgbImage, bbox);
subplot(2, 3, 5);
imshow(croppedImageRGB);
grid on;
title('Cropped RGB Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Gray scale version of cropped image
croppedImageGray = imcrop(grayImage, bbox);
subplot(2, 3, 6);
imshow(croppedImageGray);

MATLAB: Read three different RGB band and Swap the Band

Try this:

% Extract the individual red, green, and blue color channels.
redChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 1);
greenChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 2);
blueChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 3);
% Now swap around in any way you want.
newRedChannel = greenChannel;
newGreenChannel = blueChannel; 
newBlueChannel = redChannel;
% Recombine separate color channels into a single, true color RGB image.
NewRgbImage = cat(3, newRedChannel, newGreenChannel, newBlueChannel);
