Why am I getting the error "Index exceeds matrix dimensions"? - matlab

I am currently new to MATLAB. My code is below. I just have a question regarding why I keep getting the error "Index exceeds matrix dimensions" for the functions provided:
a = [105 97 245 163 207 134 218 199 160 196 221 154 228 131 180 178 157 151 ...
175 201 183 153 174 154 190 76 101 142 149 200 186 174 199 115 193 167 ...
171 163 87 176 121 120 181 160 194 184 165 145 160 150 181 168 158 208 ...
133 135 172 171 237 170 180 167 176 158 156 229 158 148 150 118 143 141 ...
110 133 123 146 169 158 135 149];
mean = mean(a)
std = std(a)
max = max(a)
min = min(a)
range = range(a)

Don't give variables the same names as existing functions. This shadows the function. When you then try to call the function with an argument you instead end up indexing the variable with the argument, which in this case tries to index elements in the variable that don't exist, hence your error.
Use clear to remove the existing variables, then rerun the calculations with new variable names:
clear mean std max min range;
meanResult = mean(a);
stdResult = std(a);
...

Use clc (clear command window), clear (removes all variables from the workspace) and close all (closes off any previously used figures) to clean you work space. This could help run the script better.
clc, clear, close all
a = [105 97 245 163 207 134 218 199 160 196 221 154 228 131 180 178 157 151,...,
175 201 183 153 174 154 190 76 101 142 149 200 186 174 199 115 193 167,...,

133 135 172 171 237 170 180 167 176 158 156 229 158 148 150 118 143 141,...,
110 133 123 146 169 158 135 149];
Mean = mean(a)
Std = std(a)
Max = max(a)
Min = min(a)
Range = range(a)

Save variable content to text file

I have 96 x 96 images, I want to convert each image to pixels and save it to a text file. This is an example of code :
frame = imread('c.jpg');
allpixels = reshape(frame, 96*96, 3)
The Output of the command window is :
a
allpixels =
211 194 176
200 183 163
186 169 143
170 150 123
154 133 104
149 128 99
156 135 106
157 136 109
155 135 110
148 126 102
147 123 97
143 118 88
.....
I want to save only the content of the variable allpixels to a text file. It means the text file should be exactly like this :
211 194 176
200 183 163
186 169 143
170 150 123
154 133 104
149 128 99
156 135 106
157 136 109
155 135 110
148 126 102
147 123 97
143 118 88
I have used :
diary('out.txt');
diary on
But out.txt will contain all the command window output, like this :
a
allpixels =
9216×3 uint8 matrix
211 194 176
200 183 163
186 169 143
170 150 123
154 133 104
149 128 99
156 135 106
157 136 109
155 135 110
148 126 102
147 123 97
143 118 88
How can I do that ?
diary is for activity log of your MATLAB session. To store the specific matrix you can use the following code:
dlmwrite('out.txt', a, 'delimiter', ' ');
See the details here.

Difference of pixel value between MATLAB and OpenCV extracting frames from video

I'm trying to open a video file encoded with H264 using Matlab. I rip the first frame, analyze the north-western square 9x9, I get the following matrix:
116 128 126 126 127 126 127 126 130
125 128 127 131 131 130 131 129 127
147 150 150 152 157 151 157 152 149
145 152 158 151 155 158 154 158 156
145 155 157 155 154 161 152 158 154
149 154 151 156 158 152 157 152 156
151 152 155 152 158 151 155 150 151
148 161 156 157 155 155 152 152 154
150 157 150 152 151 149 151 156 155
I try to do the same thing with OpenCV and have the following result:
116 128 125 125 126 125 126 125 130
124 128 126 131 131 130 131 129 126
146 150 150 152 157 151 157 152 149
145 152 158 151 154 158 153 158 156
145 154 157 154 153 160 152 158 153
149 153 151 156 158 152 157 152 156
151 152 154 152 158 151 154 150 151
147 160 156 157 154 154 152 152 153
150 157 150 152 151 149 151 156 154
It is seen that approximately in 50 percent of cases the brightness value of the pixel in the first matrix is one more than in the second one. For this reason, the results of further processing, respectively, in Matlab and OpenCV are different. Can someone explain to me, what is this effect related to and how to overcome it?

changing the range / limits on a polar chart in octave / matlab

I'm using Octave 4.0 using Linux which is similar to Matlab
Is it possible to have a different range of numbers on a polar chart and have them show up along with the degrees also?
The normal polar plot goes from 0-359 degrees shown in black in image, I would like the range and tick values to be from 0 to 100 shown in red in the image is this possible? If so can two ranges be shown on a polar plot at the same time (0-359 and 0-100) almost like plotting 2 y axis using plotyy on the same plot?
See image below of polar plot
Here's the the numbers 0-359 and there corresponding numbers 0-100 matching up.

Numbers matching up
The polar plot object in Octave adds the rtick and ttick properties to the parent axes which allows you to change the location of the ticks, however, there is unfortunately no tticklabel property that we can use to easily find and modify the theta tick marks.
Instead, we can plot your plot that you want the theta range to be 0 - 100 by first transforming your data to instead be 0 - 2*pi (as is expected by polar). Then after plotting both, we can use findall to locate all text objects, figure out which ones are the theta ticks, create a copy of them and modify one of the sets to appear to be 0 - 100.
% Your first plot is going to use the 0 - 2pi range for theta
theta1 = linspace(0, 2*pi, 1000);
rho1 = sin(theta1 * 5);
plot1 = polar(theta1, rho1);
hold on
% For your second plot, just transform your 0 - 100 range to be 0 - 360 instead
theta2 = 0:100;
rho2 = linspace(0, 1, numel(theta2));
modtheta2 = 2*pi * (theta2 ./ 100);
plot2 = polar(modtheta2, rho2);
% Now we need to modify all of the labels
% Find all of the original labels
labels = findall(gca, 'type', 'text');
% Figure out which ones are the radial labels. To do this we compute the distance
% from the center of the plot and find the most common distance
distances = cellfun(#(x)norm(x(1:2)), get(labels, 'Position'));
% Figure out the most common
[~, ~, b] = unique(round(distances * 100));
h = hist(b, 1:max(b));
labels = labels(b == find(h == max(h)));
% Make a copy of these labels (have to use arrayfun for 4.0.x compatibility)
blacklabels = arrayfun(#(L)copyobj(L, gca), labels);
% Shift these labels outward by 15%

How to delete all numbers in a vector which are smaller than any previous number?

and want to ignore/delete any Y value which is smaller than its previous value (and delete its corresponding X too) and put the new data set into a new file so that all resulted Y values would be in increasing order.
Thanks.
Assuming:
data = [1 14.8759
2 14.083
3 0.735268
... ... ];
You could do that:
keep = false(size(data, 1), 1);
largest = -Inf;
for i = 1:size(data, 1)
if data(i,2) > largest
largest = data(i,2);
keep(i) = true;
end
end
newdata = data(keep,:)
Result:
newdata =
1.0000 14.8759
4.0000 18.2378
10.0000 19.0308
13.0000 19.8453

If you've lot of data then it will be better to use vectorization. Removing for loops will make it faster.
Let's say 'A' is your second column (data).
A = 5 4 8 8 2 5 5 7 8 8;
Since your first column is just index we can leave it for now (Even if it's not you can copy second column to 'A' and proceed).
B = A - [-inf A(1:end-1)];
Aout = [find(B>=0);A(B>=0)];
If your first column is not just index copy it to say 'C' and change the last line to the following.
Aout = [C(B>=0);A(B>=0)];
Use bsxfun to compare each element with all the others, and from that generate a logical index that selects the desired rows:
result = data(~any(triu(bsxfun(#lt, data(:,2).', data(:,2)))), :);

Working with .PGM files?

I need to do some number crunching in .PGM image files.
I'll use MatLab for that.
Now some files (apparently "P2" type) are plain-text and everything is straightforward because they look like this
P2

But some files (apparently "P5" type) are like this

*all kinds of random symbols here*
...
Wikipedia here says that the difference is that the latter uses binary encoding. How should I deal with it? I doubt I can import binary data into MatLab...
Have you tired reading the images using imread?
I = imread( pngFilename );
