Hi i want to share with you the results of an HSV quantized image Histogram
i used an image 256X384 converted it into HSV and quantized it into (8X3X3) for H, S and V respectively and after that i made a weighted sum G= 9*H + 3*S + 3*V for this matrix i used this function:
histG=imhist(G,72)
but the output is like that:
histG =
2820

Thank you

G= 9*H + 3*S + 3*V
is the wrong weighted sum. You want to add V, not 3*V .
It appears that only the low bin and the high bin are being used in the histogram, as if you had an error in your quantization that led to the results always being either (0,0,0) or the maximum value (8,3,3). The V vs 3*V would not account for this, but a quantization mistake would. Or, alternately, you might have good quantization but a black and white image is being quantized.

Do not modify HueBlock11 "in place": create a new output matrix.
Hbins = [0 20 40 75 ... 316 inf]);
Ht = histc(HueBlock11, Hbins)
H = Ht(1:end-2);
H(1) = H(1) + Ht(end-1);
Those last two lines are to put 316 upward in to the same bin as less than 20

Look at your code:
if (Hueblock11(row,col) <= 316 && Hueblock11(row,col) <= 20)
Hueblock11(row,col) = 0;
elseif (Hueblock11(row,col) >= 20 && Hueblock11(row,col) <= 40)
Hueblock11(row,col) = 1;
Now what if Hueblock11(row,col) is 20 _exactly_ ? That matches the first condition, but it also matches the second condition. The bin chosen then becomes a matter of the order you coded the tests, which is not robust. If you want the first bin to include 20 exactly, then do not have the second bin include 20 exactly in its range.

yasmine: If you use imhist on floating point arrays, they need to be normalized in the range 0-1. I suggest you use hist() instead of imhist() - it doesn't have that requirement.
[pixelCounts binValues] = hist(G, numberOfBins);

Please provide the code. It is still not working properly.

naushad, I'm going to ask you the same thing. Because we gave code and the original poster accepted an answer. So there's no problem here, only with your code.
