Brace indexing (using {}) is for cell arrays (or tables), but FYPdatabase is a numeric array, so that's why the error happens.

Here's how you can make FYPdatabase a cell array, with first column being image size and second column being the corresponding element of dmos, as specified in your question:

load('dmos.mat');
FYPdatabase = cell(numel(dmos),2); % preallocate a cell array with 2 columns and numel(dmos) rows
FYPdatabase(:,2) = num2cell(dmos); % place the dmos values in the 2nd column
