I’m using octave 4.0 on windows 7, and I need 16bit image support. I did

You can't.
So or you rebuild octave with 16bit version of GraphicsMagick
or you use the cygwin version that already has 16 bit support.
Ah, ok, I understand, I was more or less expecting this answer, but sometimes
we do get lucky! I’ll try to compile octave, but the problem is that this means
all the students also have to do that, which is not really an option.
btw, the reason why we need 16bit support is because the images are used as
measurement data, i.e. computer-vision type problems, where color precision
does matter (the camera actually captures in 14bit).
