Hello every one, i want to ask two similar things
1.If image is pure black and white matlab should tell me that image is pure black & white and if grayscale it should tell that its grayscale.
2.in my grayscale image if some pure black or white part come it should save it an array and other gray scale values should be saved in another array. i am attaching a black& white image for reference. Thanks

Try this
[counts, grayLevels] = imhist(grayImage, 256);
if sum(counts(2:end-1)) > 0
% It's not pure black and white
end
% Get map of non-0 and non-255 pixels
grayPixels = grayImage > 0 & grayImage < 255;
% Get pure black and white image
bw = grayImage; % Initialize
bw(grayPixels) = 0; % Zero out any gray pixels.
% Get gray pixels only
grayOnly = grayImage; % Initialize
grayOnly(~grayPixels) = 0; % Zero out any pure 0 or pure 255 pixels.

@tarunika b, try this to add images
outputImage = grayImage + yourSpeckleImage;
or else use the imnoise() function.

I always avoid the phrase "black and white" because it's imprecise. I use the more precise terms "gray scale" or "binary" instead.
Sometimes people mean "black and white" to mean an image with only black and white, like a binary image, which is actually of class "logical". It has only black and/or white - there are no grays in between.
Sometimes people say "black and white" to mean like "black and white" televisions where the image is actually gray scale - it has black, white, and everything in between.
So for these reasons, I use only gray scale or binary and avoid the ambiguous term "black and white".
