Basic Image Import, Processing, and Export - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India

The document discusses importing an image file into MATLAB, adjusting the image contrast through histogram equalization, and exporting the adjusted image to a new file. Specifically, it loads a TIFF image, calculates its histogram to find it has low contrast, equalizes the histogram to improve contrast, then saves the equalized image as a PNG file.
