Description

Converts a pixel image to a matrix or an array.

Usage

# S3 method for im
as.matrix(x, ...)
  # S3 method for im
as.array(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A pixel image (object of class "im").

See below.

Value

A matrix or array.

Details

The function as.matrix.im converts the pixel image x into a matrix containing the pixel values. It is handy when you want to extract a summary of the pixel values. See the Examples.

# NOT RUN {
   # plot the cumulative distribution function of pixel values
   plot(ecdf(as.matrix(Z)))
   
# }
