MATLAB: Replace pixels in a matrix without using histeq

Question

I have a greyscale image that is 291 x 240. I have been tasked with performing histogram equalization but WITHOUT using histeq. We have been told to use a nested for loop to access each pixel individually (yes, I KNOW that this is not ideal) and replace each value by a lookup table value, T. T is an array of 256 values in the range 0 – 255.

Here is the loop , but apparently the code in the loop does not produce the correct answer. Can anyone please suggest how else I apply T to the pixel I want to transform.

for i = 1:1:r         %go through rows
    for j = 1:1:c     %columns
        img_heq(i, j) = intlut(img (i,j), uint8(T));
    end
end

Answer 1

for i = 1:1:r         %go through rows
    for j = 1:1:c     %columns
        img_heq(i, j) = T(img(i,j) + 1);
    end
end
