在Octave中載入影象並轉成灰度圖時，發現rgb2gray()函式不存在，上網搜了一下，stackoverflow上給出了相關解釋，如下：
The problem is that you didn't load your packages. When you type pkg list you can find which ones are loaded by an asterisk in front of their names. Load a package with
pkg load image.
Having to load a packages is that thing that most users find strange but if you compare with other languages, such as Python, Perl, or C++, would you expect them to
import, use, or #include every libraries available in the system by default? See
Octave's FAQ for more details.
原來Octave預設狀態下缺少相關包，比如影象處理、訊號處理方面的包，需要我們手動安裝。
去sourceforge上下載相關包，放在Octave的搜尋路徑上，在Octave的命令列中執行安裝命令：
pkg install -forge package_name rgb2gray()函式需要安裝image包。

Some packages have been renamed or merged over time. When thishappens, a dummy transitional package is created -- empty anddependent on its new package. After some time, those are removedas well. The following is a list of such packages:
The Octave Forge project is a location to develop multiple packages for GNUOctave. With time, some packages become unmaintained, usually because the originalauthor no longer requires it and no one steps up to take its position. Without amaintainer or active user base, and as Octave evolves, we do not know how usablethey are, so we can no longer honestly recommend their use.
They are still stored and release tarballs can be downloaded from ourFile Release System(same for the very oldmonolithic releases) .However, many of them have accumulated bug fixes and new features in themercurial orSVNrepositories, it simply happens that no maintainer has prepared a release.Because of this, we encourage users to check the development sources, not the releasedtarballs. Furthermore,bug reports for those packagescontinue to be welcome, and anyone wishing to take up the position of maintainer, please contactus through themaintainers mailing list.
