Having a matrix as shown below
Untitled.png
i wanted to take 3x3 pixel
Untitled2.png
and compare the 3 pixels (highlighted in yellow colour) with the pixel (highlighted in green colour),
and if 2 or more pixel (highlighted in yellow) has value greater than the pixel (highlighted in green) and i wanted to assign 1 to it else 0
So in this case i will get 0-1-1-0 and then convert the binary 0110 to its corresponding decimal value = 6
Then the next 3x3 pixel

Why 0110? Left edge of the left block, then top edge of the right block, then middle row of the right block, then middle column of the left block??

Assuming your matrix is A
% collect green pixels
query_right = A(2:end-1,3:end);
query_left = A(2:end-1,1:end-2);
query_down = A(3:end,2:end-1);
query_up = A(1:end-2,2:end-1);
% collect yellow pixels
test_column = zeros(size(A,1)-2,size(A,2)-2,3);
for j = 2:size(A,2)-1
test_column(:,j-1,1:3) = toeplitz(A(3:end,j),A(3:-1:1,j));
end
test_row = zeros(size(A,1)-2,size(A,2)-2,3);
for i = 2:size(A,1)-1
test_row(i-1,:,1:3) = toeplitz(A(i,3:end),A(i,3:-1:1));
end
% evaluate
eval_right = sum(test_column>query_right,3)>=2;
eval_left = sum(test_column>query_left,3) >=2;
eval_down = sum(test_row>query_down,3) >=2;
eval_up = sum(test_row>query_up,3) >=2;
result = eval_right*2^3 + eval_down*2^2 + eval_left*2^1 + eval_up*2^0;
For matrix given in your example, the result would be
6 7 10
2 2 10
5 5 13
