Change dimension of a matrix

How to change a matrix dimension 1X131072 to 256X256

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

do you mean 256*512

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

131072/256=512 some data will be missing

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

reshape(yourmatrix,256,256,[]);

or

permute(reshape(yourmatrix,256,256,[]),[2 1 3]);

Answer 2

[Wayne King]

You cannot because the number of elements will change. 131072 is not equal to 256^2 so what are you going to do with all the left over elements? You can choose a subset of the 131,072 elements in your vector to create a 256x256 matrix.

x = randn(131072,1);
y = x(1:65536);
y = reshape(y,256,256);

You can reshape it to 256x512, or 512x256 using reshape.

You can change the number of elements if you want. If you have the Image Processing Toolbox, you can use imresize()

You can change the dimensions of a matrix using various functions and techniques, depending on your specific requirements. Here are some common ways to modify the dimensions of a matrix:

1. Reshaping a Matrix: You can change the dimensions of a matrix without changing its data by using the reshape function. This function rearranges the elements of the matrix while preserving their values. Here's how to use it:

A = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6];

B = reshape(A, 3, 2); % Reshape A into a 3x2 matrix

2. Transposing a Matrix: You can change the dimensions of a matrix by transposing it. This swaps the rows and columns. Use the ' operator for matrix transpose:

A = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6];

B = A'; % Transpose A, changing it from a 2x3 matrix to a 3x2 matrix

3. Slicing: You can extract submatrices from a larger matrix to change its dimensions. For example, to extract a specific subset of rows and columns:

A = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9];

B = A(1:2, 1:2); % Extract a 2x2 submatrix from A

4. Concatenation: You can concatenate matrices to change their dimensions. For example, to horizontally concatenate two matrices:

A = [1, 2; 3, 4];

B = [5, 6; 7, 8];

C = [A, B]; % Concatenate A and B horizontally, resulting in a 2x4 matrix

5. Resizing: You can change the size of a matrix using functions like zeros, ones, or rand. For example, to change a matrix A to a larger size while keeping its data:

A = [1, 2; 3, 4];

newSize = [3, 3]; % New size

B = zeros(newSize); % Create a new matrix with zeros

B(1:size(A, 1), 1:size(A, 2)) = A; % Copy the data from A to B

These are some common techniques for changing the dimensions of a matrix in MATLAB. The method you choose depends on your specific data manipulation needs.
