%converting image from grayscale to rgb

imwrite(RGB,'decoded.JPG');
%end of the huffman coding
This code works fine but the image decoded is grey in colour. I cannot find anything wrong in it please help

Hi, walter..can i know step for storing huffman dictionary after encoding using huffman?

well done, your code is great!
however, the thing that makes this logical error is that your map channels are equal to each other, hence you will get grayed scale image as well, so to overcome this issue, I recommend you work with indexed images.
% try the following
[indexed, colormap] = rgb2ind(rgbimage, number_of_colors);
% do all the processing on this indexed format and then at the end
RGB = ind2rgb(back, colormap);
% by this you should get a compressed colored image
I hope this helps!

Yes, people have done that. Just reshape the image into a vector, and Huffman encode that. If you save or transmit the encoded image, remember to store the dictionary and the image size so that you can reconstruct afterwards.
