convert a grayscale image into bit pattern

dear guys..i m beginner..i need to convert a grayscale image into bit pattern.. like 1100101000100100010000010101010101000101010101010101010000101010000011111111000.....whole the image.

my goal is, I built an arduino code to transmit any bit pattern from a one pc to other pc.one side is connect a LED with one arduino board and other side connect a photodiode with other arduino.I success with that progress because i transmit any bit pattern to the other side through the visible light using a led and a photodiode.

Then i need to encode an image into bit pattern and combine with the arduino code to transmit an image to the otherside..

Steps:

1. Convert image RGB to gray (rgb2gray)
2. Read individual decimal pixel values and convert to binary (Same as gray binary slices) Read LSB or MSB

Here individual pixels as 8 bit bit pattern, call bits from MSB or LSB as per the requirements.

please give me an example code to transmit an image in to that bit pattern as a output.please help me to find an answer to this question.
