converting binary to RGB problem?

hi i implemented the background subtraction using frame difference technique,it works but last output of program is binary form(1-0), but i want to convert it to rgb form,is it possible?, can anyone help me? here my code;

    % %%background subtraction-%%

    %%camera options
    vid = videoinput('winvideo', 1, 'YUY2_640x480');
    set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
    set(vid, 'ReturnedColorspace', 'rgb')
    vid.FrameGrabInterval =5;
    start(vid)

    %%count elements
    sum_frames=0;
    count_frames=0;

     while(vid.FramesAcquired<=50)
             I = getsnapshot(vid);
             Im=im2double(I);

             imR=squeeze(Im(:,:,1));
            imG=squeeze(Im(:,:,2));
            imB=squeeze(Im(:,:,3));
            imBinaryR=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imR));
            imBinaryG=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imG));
            imBinaryB=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imB));
            imBinary=imcomplement(imBinaryR&imBinaryG&imBinaryB);

             c=im2bw(imBinary);
             imshow(c)

            se=strel('disk',7);
            imClean=imopen(imBinary,se);
            imClean=imfill(imClean,'holes');
            imClean=imclearborder(imClean);

             sum_frames=sum_frames+imClean;

             count_frames=count_frames+1;
   end

   mean_frames=sum_frames/count_frames;
   subplot(1,2,1);
   imshow(mean_frames);

    while(vid.FramesAcquired<=100)
     I = getsnapshot(vid);
             Im=im2double(I);

             imR=squeeze(Im(:,:,1));
            imG=squeeze(Im(:,:,2));
            imB=squeeze(Im(:,:,3));
            imBinaryR=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imR));
            imBinaryG=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imG));
            imBinaryB=im2bw(imR,graythresh(imB));
            imBinary=imcomplement(imBinaryR&imBinaryG&imBinaryB);
    diff_frames=imBinary-mean_frames;
    subplot(1,2,2);
    imshow(diff_frames);
   end
   stop(vid);
   flushdata(vid);
   clear all

Why do you want to turn a binary image into an RGB image? And what would be in each channel? The same binary image? If so, do this (though I don't know why you'd want to):

rgbImage = cat(3, uint8(binaryImage), uint8(binaryImage), uint8(binaryImage));

im working on the hand detection and i used binary technique to avoid light intensity problem

i tried your suggestion but it didnt work, all the screen was black

Try multiplying by 255:

rgbImage = cat(3, uint8(255*binaryImage), uint8(255*binaryImage), uint8(255*binaryImage));

[YUNUS]

dont work

[Image Analyst]

does work. Works for me. Try this:

z = peaks(300); % Make sample data.
binaryImage = z > 2; % Create a binary image
rgbImage = cat(3, uint8(255*binaryImage), uint8(255*binaryImage), uint8(255*binaryImage));
imshow(rgbImage);

Does that work for you? (It will). So what are you doing differently? How did you change the code?
