Convert gray to rgb

Hey I want to change my gray image back to rgb.

This is my code

I1 = '3 new.jpeg';
img = imread(I1);
img_grey = rgb2gray(img);
A = img(:,:,3);  
second_img = imsubtract(A, img_grey);
final_img = im2bw(second_img, 0.09);
imshow(final_img);
title('Final Img','fontsize',20);
rgbImage=ind2rgb(final_img,jet(256));
imshow (rgbImage);

OK, congratulations. Actually you converted a binary image (not a gray scale image) into RGB. I don't see a question anywhere, but thanks for the announcement (I guess).

how to change it back to rgb actually?

[Walter Roberson]

rgbImage=ind2rgb(uint8(final_img), jet(256));

You will not be able to convert it back to the original color.

However it would be possible to use the binary image to select parts of the original image to stay the same and convert everything else to black.

finalrgb = img.*uint8(final_img) ;

when i using finalrgb = img.*uint8(final_img) ; in normal file it will show the final image but when i try to sub into gui, it cannot show the final image, why?

How did you call the display function, such as imshow(), in both cases? It should work the same. Are you using GUIDE or App Designer for the "GUI" method?

To change your gray scale image back into the original RGB image, you simply assign it:

img_grey = img;

That should work as long as you still have img available.

i am using the GUIDE, below is my code, i try to make the when i load one image, it can detect the blue or colour in the picture and show the final image of the blue or red colour section, i still new at this image processing

We recommend against using global.

subplot('Position', [0.2 0.2 0.6 0.6]);

subplot() of what axes in what figure?

Note: when you use subplot() and the position you give partly overlays an existing axes, the existing axes will be deleted.

img_grey=img;GUID

is GUID a function that you are intentionally calling there?

Note that in pushbuttoon2_Callback, you do not display anything.
