How it works

Step 1 : The first step is to read the input image and display the input image,you will get the result as below

%% Read Image
Inputimage=imread('example.jpg');
%% Show image
figure(1)
imshow(Inputimage);
title('INPUT IMAGE WITH NOISE')

Step 2 : The second step is to convert the colour(RGB) image to a Gray scale

%% Convert to gray scale
if size(Inputimage,3)==3 % RGB image
 Inputimage=rgb2gray(Inputimage);
end
