Detailed Documentation

This program converts input RGB images to grayscale format! It is implemented in the MATLAB programming environment. The implementation employs image processing techniques where RGB-to-grayscale conversion enhances image brightness and contrast visibility. The MATLAB implementation leverages the platform's comprehensive image processing toolbox and functions, facilitating more efficient image manipulation operations. The core algorithm utilizes the weighted combination method, typically applying the formula: Grayscale = 0.2989*R + 0.5870*G + 0.1140*B, which corresponds to human luminance perception. Using this program enables straightforward RGB-to-grayscale conversion and supports subsequent image processing operations such as image enhancement, edge detection, and feature extraction. Through this implementation, users can better understand image processing principles and applications while incorporating these techniques into their own projects for image analysis and computer vision tasks.
