im2uint16 — Convert image data to uint16 using image scaling rules.

im2uint16(I) converts floating image values in [0,1] to uint16 [0,65535] and expands uint8 image data by 257.

How im2uint16 works

• Floating-point inputs are clamped to [0,1], multiplied by 65535, and rounded.
• uint8 inputs are expanded into the uint16 image range.

Example

Convert To uint16

J = im2uint16(I);

Expected output:

% J is uint16 image data
