the project i work on is to recognize the sign language alphabet ,now after i made the database , i want to convert all colored backgrounds into pure black ones to deal finally with one color for the background, i need an automated matlab code to do that
many thanks

This is demonstrated in my simple color detection macro.

You simply need to change the thresholds to find your green background
instead of the red, then invert the mask since you want to zero out
the color instead of keeping it like I did. Problems? Post your code
back here.

thanks alot for ur help, i tried ur code just now, but the problem is that it will be assumed that i don't know the background color (in my database i take images with green, blue , violet and not pure black backgrounds) and i want to replace it with a pure black one as i am interested in the handshape only without other effects
