Salt and pepper code in matlab
Show older comments

I want to convert from this opencv code to matlab code.
My tried code:
% I generated random salt & pepper noise
dim = size(I);
[m, n] = size(I);
saltpepper_noise=zeros((m, n));
saltpepper_noise=rand(m,n); #creates a uniform random variable from 0 to 1
for i in range(0,m):
for j in range(0,n):
if saltpepper_noise[i,j]<=0.5:
saltpepper_noise[i,j]=0
else:
saltpepper_noise[i,j]=255

Not sure I understand your code fully, is I defined before the code begins?
in any case, a few corrections
- the asignment [m,n]=x is impossible in matlab, you can should define them seperatly:
m=size(I)(1)
n=size(I)(2)
- no need to define saltpepper_noise twice, you can just use the second line
- in a for loop, you use the syntax for i=1:m
in general, i suggest you use matlab's online documentation, it's very helpful and full of examples

If you want to use conditionals and be as close as possible to that code (instead of using the built-in imnoise function), then you can do this:
% Get grayscale image
saltpepper_img = imread('cameraman.tif');
[img.rows, img.cols] = size(saltpepper_img);
% Create noise image.
saltpepper_noise = randi(255, img.rows, img.cols, 'uint8');
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(saltpepper_noise);
title('Original Noise', 'FontSize', 15);
black = saltpepper_noise < 10;
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imshow(black);
title('Black Locations', 'FontSize', 15);
white = saltpepper_noise > 245;
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(white);
title('White Locations', 'FontSize', 15);
% Assign black and white to gray scale image.
saltpepper_img(black) = 0;
saltpepper_img(white) = 255;
subplot(2, 2, 4);
imshow(saltpepper_img);
title('Grayscale image with noise', 'FontSize', 15);

There is a salt and pepper option for imnoise(). Just use that.
