could not broadcast input array from shape (256,256,3) into shape (256,256)

The error message you encountered suggests that you are trying to broadcast an input array with shape (256, 256, 3) into a shape of (256, 256). Broadcasting is the process of making arrays with different shapes compatible for arithmetic operations.

In this case, it seems like you have an image array with three color channels (RGB) of size 256x256 and you are trying to perform an operation that requires the array to have a single channel (grayscale) with the same dimensions. The error occurs because the shapes do not match.

To resolve this issue, you need to convert the RGB image to grayscale. There are multiple ways to do this, but one common method is to use the luminosity formula to calculate the grayscale intensity from the RGB values. Here's an example using Python and the NumPy library:

import numpy as np

# Assuming `image` is your input array with shape (256, 256, 3)
grayscale_image = np.dot(image[..., :3], [0.2989, 0.5870, 0.1140])
# The resulting `grayscale_image` will have shape (256, 256)

By applying this conversion, you will obtain a grayscale image that can be used further in your desired operation without encountering the broadcasting error.
