function hsi = rgb2hsi(rgb)
%RGB2HSI Converts an RGB image to HSI.
%   HSI = RGB2HSI(RGB) converts an RGB image to HSI. The input image
%   is assumed to be of size M-by-N-by-3, where the third dimension
%   accounts for three image planes: red, green, and blue, in that
%   order. If all RGB component images are equal, the HSI conversion
%   is undefined. The input image can be of class double (with values
%   in the range [0, 1]), uint8, or uint16. 
%
%   The output image, HSI, is of class double, where:
%     hsi(:, :, 1) = hue image normalized to the range [0, 1] by
%                    dividing all angle values by 2*pi. 
%     hsi(:, :, 2) = saturation image, in the range [0, 1].
%     hsi(:, :, 3) = intensity image, in the range [0, 1].
