Question: how to convert an image in to binary bits sequence ?

a=imread('cameramen.jpg'); b= round(a./256); but i got binary bits like this 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 . . . 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 . . 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 but what i want is: b = (1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 .....n)

    You question is very unclear due to imprecise language.
     
    Are you intending to binarise the image? That is convert each pixel to a single 0 or 1, as you've done with your b = round(a / 256), which convert all pixels below intensity 128 to 0 and all above 127 to 1. Or as your watermarking tag and question title suggest, convert each pixel to a sequence of bits?
     
    If the latter, the best course is actually not to do it and use matlab's bit wise operators. This will be much faster than converting to a matrix of bits and back.
     
    Example, replace LSB of matrix with random 0 or 1:
    orig_image = imread('cameraman.tif'); %demo image shipped with matlab
lsb_replacement = uint8(randi([0 1], size(orig_matrix))); %random replacement

%set lsb to 0 (with AND 254) and replace with OR:
new_image = bitor(bitand(orig_matrix, 254), lsb_replacement); 

imshowpair(orig_image, new_image, 'montage')
isequal(bitget(new_image, 1), lsb_replacement) %should return true
