Use padarray():

padsize = 1;
padvalue = 255; % or 1 if image is single, double, or logical.
paddedImage = padarray(originalImage, padsize, padval);

Then just write it in yourself

grayImage(:, 1) = 255; % Make left column white.
grayImage(:, end) = 255; % Make right column white.
grayImage(1, :) = 255; % Make top row white.
grayImage(end, :) = 255; % Make  bottom row white.

I have this code: %read image im=imread('2.jpg'); figure,imshow(im); %convert image to grayscale components imr=im(:,:,1); img=im(:,:,2); imb=im(:,:,3);

%write the images to specified folders with a suitable name imwrite(imr, 'C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\Imageprocessing\project1\001r.jpg','jpg'); imwrite(img, 'C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\Imageprocessing\project1\001g.jpg','jpg'); imwrite(imb, 'C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\Imageprocessing\project1\001b.jpg','jpg');

%calculate the level of the blue image using OTSU's threshold function level = graythresh(imb);

%converting the blue component grayscale image to binary image with the %help of level calculated using OTSU's threshold function bwb=im2bw(imb,level);

%show the binary image figure,imshow(bwb);

%save the binary image imwrite(bwb, 'C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\Imageprocessing\project1\001bin.jpg','jpg'); %tried implementing your code snippet bwb(:,1)=255; bwb(:,end)=255; bwb(1,:)=255; bwb(end,:)=255; figure,imshow(bwb);

There seems to be no effect. I am using MATLAB R2015a
