MATLAB: Threshold

Image Processing Toolboxthreshold

Hi, i already did a threshold to my image using function below: image1 = im2bw(image, 70); imshow(image1);
In my image, I only want the pixels that value from 70-130, so can I threshold the value above 130? Since I know that threshold function will remove the pixel value BELOW the standard value we put in(70 in my case). How can I do that? Or is there any other function I can do this?
Thank you.

See my demo (simply copy and paste):
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.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 20;
% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
if(~isdeployed)
cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
end
% Check that user has the Image Processing Toolbox installed.
hasIPT = license('test', 'image_toolbox');
if ~hasIPT
% User does not have the toolbox installed.
message = sprintf('Sorry, but you do not seem to have the Image Processing Toolbox.\nDo you want to try to continue anyway?');
reply = questdlg(message, 'Toolbox missing', 'Yes', 'No', 'Yes');
if strcmpi(reply, 'No')
% User said No, so exit.
return;
end
end
% Read in a standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');
baseFileName = 'cell.tif';
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% 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
grayImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image. numberOfColorBands should be = 1.
[rows columns numberOfColorBands] = size(grayImage);
% Display the original gray scale image.
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Original Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Position', get(0,'Screensize'));
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off')
% Threshold the image.
binaryImage = grayImage >= 70 & grayImage <= 130;
% Display the binary image.
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(binaryImage, []);
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Mask the image.
maskedImage = grayImage; % Initialize.
maskedImage(~binaryImage) = 0;
% Display the masked image.
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(maskedImage, []);
title('Masked Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
