how to average 5 RGB images ?

a,b,c,d,e --------------- 5 rgb image matrix.

sum = a+b+c+d+e;

average = sum./5;

average image has same dimension as a,b,c,d,e.

Hi, what is exactly the problem? If you average 5 images, it is to be expected that the resulting average image has the same dimensions as your original images.

One more thing, using sum as variable name can be confusing, since it is also a Matlab function.

You must cast them to single or double before adding so you don't clip at 255. Then divide by 5;

meanRGB = (double(image1) + double(image2) + double(image3) + double(image4) + double(image5)) / 5;

Cast back to uint8 if you want to display it or save it.
