Implemented in Python.

### Input

f | Image Any image

### Output

img | Image Gray-scale uint8 image. The converted image

## Description

uint8 clips the input image between the values 0 and 255 and converts it to the unsigned 8-bit datatype.

## Examples

    >>> a = int32([-3,0,8,600])

    >>> print uint8(a)

    [  0   0   8 255]

## Source Code

    def uint8(f):
        from Numeric import array, clip
        img = array(clip(f,0,255)).astype('b')
        return img
