Hi everybody,

I need to convert a RGB image into a binary format image. I would be grateful if any one could help me.

With best regards,

An RGB image *is* a binary format image. What exactly are you trying to
do? What do you imagine a binary format image is?

Cheers,

David

I'm guessing that you want to threshold the image's intensity. If, so, then you can use COLOR_CONVERT to transform your RGB image into an HSV image. The V channel is the intensity, to which you can apply a threshold. For instance, if A is your RGB image and THRESHOLD is your threshold value, then

IDL> color_convert, a, b, /rgb_hsv
IDL> intensity = reform(b[2,*,*]) ; V = intensity
IDL> result = intensity gt threshold

All the best,

David
