How to extact bits from an image to a string separated with commas?

Hello,

I am trying to get an image bits in a string separated with commas.

My code is the following:

Image = imread('calle1.png');
COL=640;
ROW=360;
a=zeros(1,COL*ROW);
n=1;
for i=1:1:ROW
    for j=1:COL
        a(1,n)=Image(i,j);
        n=n+1;
    end
end

% aCSV = regexprep(num2str(a), '\s*', ',');

allOneString = sprintf('%.0f,' , a);
allOneString = allOneString(1:end-1);% strip final comma

When I try to open the string it says: cannot display summaries of variables with more than 524288 elements. How can I do it?

Thanks

Your code produces a CHAR vector (a "string" is a different class). Now you explain, that there is an error, when you "try to open the string". But what does this mean? Where do you try this in which way? What do you want to see?

A hint: You can replace:

COL=640;
ROW=360;
a=zeros(1,COL*ROW);
n=1;
for i=1:1:ROW
    for j=1:COL
        a(1,n)=Image(i,j);
        n=n+1;
    end
end

by:

a = reshape(Image.', 1, []);

But there is no need to do this. Simply use:

Image             = imread('calle1.png');
allOneString      = sprintf('%d,', Image.');
allOneString(end) = [];
