Hi Riza,

Some of the image processing functions are in the main octave 
distribution, and others are available in octave forge.  If you are 
wanting to contribute to the main octave distribution, you can get the 
source from http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html (see 
Development Sources at the bottom of the page), and if you want to get 
the functions in octave-forge you can get them from 
http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html (see Download the latest 
octave-forge distribution).

For the main sources, you'll need mercurial, and for octave forge, 
you'll need subversion.  At the moment, someone is working on imread to 
make it work better and to incorporate it into the main octave 
distribution (it may already be there), so that is probably not the best 
function to work on at the moment.  In general, if you want to work on a 
function, just make your changes (be sure to maintain matlab 
compatibility) and for your first changes submit them to the maintainers 
list (for octave) or the octave-dev list (for octave-forge).

Happy hacking,

Bill
