Enhancements and Changes to Existing Features

In addition to the features described in New Features, the following sections describe enhancements and other changes to existing toolbox functions introduced in the Image Processing Toolbox, Version 5.

New DICOM Anonymizer Function

The toolbox now includes a new function, dicomanon, that can remove all confidential data from a DICOM file.

New Integer Lookup Table Function

The toolbox now includes a new function, intlut, that can convert arrays of uint8, uint16, and int16 integer values using a lookup table.

New Toolbox Utility Functions

The toolbox includes several new utility functions that can help with input argument parsing. These functions check the validity of arguments and issue standard error messages, if the argument is invalid. The toolbox includes other utility functions to get the dynamic range of an image and convert a positive integer to an ordinal string.

The following table lists these functions in alphabetical order. The functions reside in the $MATLAB/toolbox/images/iptutils directory, where $MATLAB represents your MATLAB installation directory.
