%COL2GRAY Mapping for converting multi-band images into single band images
%
%  B = COL2GRAY(A,V)
%  B = A*COL2GRAY([],V)
%
% INPUT
%   A    Multiband image or dataset with multi-band images as objects
%   V    Weight vector, one weight per band. Default: equal weights.
%
% OUTPUT
%   B    Output image or dataset.
%
% DESCRIPTION
% The multi-band components in the image A (3rd dimension) or in the
% objects in the dataset A are weigthed (default: equal weights) and
% averaged.
