Digital Image Processing
I think this code would be helpful, as displaying intensity part gives you the spatial characteristics of an image.

%Write a MATLAB function which converts an RGB to HSI. Display the Hue
%image, Saturation image and the Intensity image. Histogram equalize the H,
%S and I images and the HSI image. Then convert the HSI image back to RGB.

r=F(:,:,1);
g=F(:,:,2);
b=F(:,:,3);
th=acos((0.5*((r-g)+(r-b)))./((sqrt((r-g).^2+(r-b).*(g-b)))+eps));
H=th;
H(b&gt;g)=2*pi-H(b&gt;g);
H=H/(2*pi);
S=1-3.*(min(min(r,g),b))./(r+g+b+eps);
I=(r+g+b)/3;
hsi=cat(3,H,S,I);
HE=H*2*pi;
HE=histeq(HE);
HE=HE/(2*pi);
