I have a questions regarding matlab matrix - matlab

Suppose I have this matrix:
m=[1 2 3;4 5 6; 7 8 9]
I want this matrix in MATLAB:
a=[1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3;1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3;4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6;4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6;7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,9;7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,9]
Please help to make this matrix,
Thanks in advance,

I like the kronecker tensor product
m=[1 2 3;4 5 6; 7 8 9];
a = kron(m,ones(2,3))
each element in a is a product between the current element in m and the matrix in the second argument (which would be clear if the second argument contains other values than 1). But this would do for your example

This may be faster than using a Kronecker product:
m = [1 2 3;4 5 6; 7 8 9]; %// data
rep = [2 3]; %// number of repetitions of rows and columns respectively
a = m(ceil((1:size(m,1)*rep(1))/rep(1)), ceil((1:size(m,2)*rep(2))/rep(2)));

Convert 3d matrix to String and back to 3d matrix using Matlab

I am currently working on a stenography assignment on how to embed secret image to a cover image using Wang's algorithm. Basically i just want to change for eg:
3d matrix
A(:,:,1) = [5 7 8; 0 1 9; 4 3 6];
A(:,:,2) = [1 0 4; 3 5 6; 9 8 7];
A(:,:,3) = [7 9 3; 4 5 9; 1 9 9];
To
Str = '578019436104356987793459199'
and also vice-versa if anybody can help out.
Another way is to just use sprintf. You first need to transpose each slice independently, so the call to permute as per Ander's answer will get to that point. After you can just supply a single format string of %d (integer) and the actual permuted matrix and it will unroll all elements column-wise and concatenate all of the numbers together. The additional advantage is that you no longer need to assume that only one digit occupies each matrix element:
str = sprintf('%d', permute(A, [2 1 3]));
Example
>> str = sprintf('%d', permute(A, [2 1 3]))
str =
578019436104356987793459199
>> class(str)
ans =
char
However, to reconstruct the matrix, you will have to assume that there's one element per matrix. In this case, you could use the undocumented sprintfc function that can output one cell per character, then convert the characters to numbers with str2double. Finally, reshape your matrix and undo the transpose:
A2 = permute(reshape(str2double(sprintfc('%c', str)), size(A)), [2 1 3]);
Example
>> A2 = permute(reshape(str2double(sprintfc('%c', str)), size(A)), [2 1 3])
A2(:,:,1) =
5 7 8
0 1 9
4 3 6
A2(:,:,2) =
1 0 4
3 5 6
9 8 7
A2(:,:,3) =
7 9 3
4 5 9
1 9 9
Because of the order of the unrolling of MATLAB matrices, your problem is slightly less straightforward than it may seem. You need to use reshape and permute to make it work.
str=arrayfun(#num2str,reshape(permute(A,[2 1 3]),[],1,1)).';
A2=permute(reshape(arrayfun(#str2double,str),[size(A)]),[2 1 3]);
isequal(A2,A)
This of course assumes what #Sardar comments in your question: all numbers have single digits (i.e. are integers range 0-9)

MATLAB: Construct matrix from selected matrix elements

I have a 3x3x3 matrix which contains a particular set of elements that I would like to extract. However, I would like for the elements to be ordered in a matrix after selecting them. An example is:
a(1,:,:)=1*[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
a(2,:,:)=2*[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
a(3,:,:)=3*[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
a(a>1.0)
The condition a(a>1.0) gives me a vector of elements, but is there a way to order them in a matrix following their original ordering?
What would you like to do to the elements that don't satisfy your criteria?
You could do something like a(a<=1) = nan;
Suppose 2-D matrix for simplicity:
a = [1 2 3; ...
4 5 6];
Let's take only even values and keep them in their original shape:
a(mod(a, 2) == 0)
You might want:
2
4 6
However, in the world of matrix, is there such a matrix which has empty space? Yes, a sparse matrix. But, you must note that a sparse matrix is filled with 0 not just missing.
So, my suggestion is to replace other values with NaN
b = a; % just make a duplicate
b(mod(b, 2) == 1) = nan
b =
nan 2 nan
4 nan 6

How to compare in Matlab two matrices of different dimension and get the frequency of equal rows?

I have matrix A in Matlab of dimension hxk and a matrix B of dimension yxk. I want to construct a vector C of dimension yx1 listing in each row j how many times B(j,:) appears in A.
If you are looking for perfect matches, one solution with bsxfun -
C = squeeze(sum(all(bsxfun(#eq,A,permute(B,[3 2 1])),2),1))
You can also use pdist2 (from the Statistics Toolbox):
C = sum(pdist2(A, B)==0);
Another solution using ismember and accumarray
A=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9; 1 2 3; 4 5 6; 10 11 12; 7 8 9];
B=[1 2 3; 10 11 12; 3 4 5; 7 8 9];
[uB,aB,cB]=unique(B,'rows');
[~,LocB] = ismember(A,uB,'rows');
C = accumarray(nonzeros(LocB),1,[size(B,1),1]);
C=C(cB);
which returns
C =
2 1 0 2
or some crazy coding which seems to be faster for most instances:
[u,v,w]=unique([B;A],'rows');
wB=w(1:size(B,1));
wA=w(size(B,1)+1:end);
C=accumarray(wA,1,[numel(v),1]);
C=C(wB);

what is the meaning of a(b) in matlab ? where a and b are matrix [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Got confused with a vector indexed by a matrix, in Matlab
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Suppose:
a =
1 2 3
4 5 6
2 3 4
and
b =
1 3 2
6 4 8
In MATLABa(b) gives:
>> a(b)
ans =
1 2 4
3 2 6
What is the reason for this output?
when you have a matrix a:
a =
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
and b:
b =
1 3 4
3 2 6
then a(b) is a way of adressing items in a and gives you:
>> a(b)
ans =
1 7 2
7 4 8
to understand this you have to think of a als a single column vector
>> a(:)
ans =
1
4
7
2
5
8
3
6
9
now the first row of b (1 3 4) addresses elements in this vector so the first, the 3rd and the forth element of that single column vector which are 1 7 and 2 are adressed. Next the secound row of b is used as adresses for a secound line in the output so the 3rd, the 2nd and the 6th elements are taken from a, those are 7 4 and 8.
It's just a kind of matrix indexing.
Matrix indexes numeration in 'a' matrix is:
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9
This is a possible duplicate to this post where I gave an answer: Got confused with a vector indexed by a matrix, in Matlab
However, I would like to duplicate my answer here as I think it is informative.
That's a very standard MATLAB operation that you're doing. When you have a vector or a matrix, you can provide another vector or matrix in order to access specific values. Accessing values in MATLAB is not just limited to single indices (i.e. A(1), A(2) and so on).
For example, let's say we had a vector a = [1 2 3 4]. Let's also say we had b as a matrix such that it was b = [1 2 3; 1 2 3; 1 2 3]. By doing a(b) to access the vector, what you are essentially doing is a lookup. The output is basically the same size as b, and you are creating a matrix where there are 3 rows, and each element accesses the first, second and third element. Not only can you do this for a vector, but you can do this for a matrix as well.
Bear in mind that when you're doing this for a matrix, you access the elements in column major format. For example, supposing we had this matrix:
A = [1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8]
A(1) would be 1, A(2) would be 3, A(3) would be 5 and so on. You would start with the first column, and increasing indices will traverse down the first column. Once you hit the 5th index, it skips over to the next column. So A(5) would be 2, A(6) would be 4 and so on.
Here are some examples to further your understanding. Let's define a matrix A such that:
A = [5 1 3
7 8 0
4 6 2]
Here is some MATLAB code to strengthen your understanding for this kind of indexing:
A = [5 1 3; 7 8 0; 4 6 2]; % 3 x 3 matrix
B = [1 2 3 4];
C = A(B); % C should give [5 7 4 1]
D = [5 6 7; 1 2 3; 4 5 6];
E = A(D); % E should give [8 6 3; 5 7 4; 1 8 6]
F = [9 8; 7 6; 1 2];
G = A(F); % G should give [2 0; 3 6; 5 7]
As such, the output when you access elements this way is whatever the size of the vector or matrix that you specify as the argument.
In order to be complete, let's do this for a vector:
V = [-1 9 7 3 0 5]; % A 6 x 1 vector
B = [1 2 3 4];
C = V(B); % C should give [-1 9 7 3]
D = [1 3 5 2];
E = V(D); % E should give [-1 7 0 9]
F = [1 2; 4 5; 6 3];
G = V(F); % G should give [-1 9; 3 0; 5 7]
NB: You have to make sure that you are not providing indexes that would make the accessing out of bounds. For example if you tried to specify the index of 5 in your example, it would give you an error. Also, if you tried anything bigger than 9 in my example, it would also give you an error. There are 9 elements in that 3 x 3 matrix, so specifying a column major index of anything bigger than 9 will give you an out of bounds error.

Got confused with a vector indexed by a matrix, in Matlab

The following codes runs in Matlab:
a = [1 2 3 4]
b = [ 1 2 3; 1 2 3; 1 2 3]
a(b)
The result of a(b) is a matrix:
[ 1 2 3; 1 2 3; 1 2 3]
Can anyone explain what happened here? Why a vector can be indexed by a matrix, how to interpret the result?

Notice that the return value of a(b) is the same size as b.
a(b) simply takes each element of b, call it b(i,j), as an index and returns the outputs a(b(i,j)) as a matrix the same size as b. You should play around with other examples to get a more intuitive feel for this:
b = [4 4 4; 4 4 4];
a(b) % Will return [4 4 4; 4 4 4]
c = [5; 5];
a(c) % Will error as 5 is out of a's index range
