In the last post we took a look at averaging the RGB channels to produce a gray scale image. It does require some math division to get the result. If you need a way that is even simpler and faster than averaging – we can extract the values from one of the color...

Let’s us look at some ways of converting a color image into a black and white or gray scale image. The most straight forward approach is averaging the three color channels, RGB. GrayValue = (Red + Green + Blue) / 3 You do this for every pixel. It is quick and...
