detectSURFFeatures only works on grayscale images. Use rgb2gray to convert I to grayscsle.

It is about the size. The image may look gray, but if its size is MxNx3, it is still RGB, as far as function is concerned.

What does class(I) return? If it does not return one of the following, your image is not of the right type:
'logical', 'uint8', 'int16', 'uint16', 'single', 'double'
