Hi Bharat,

Significant updates to the image processing codes have been made since 
2.1.73, and more updates are actively occurring now.  Since you are 
using Debian, I would suggest upgrading to octave 3.0.1 and installing 
the image manipulation toolbox (apt-get install octave3.0 octave-image).

Have a good day,

Bill
