convmtx2

2-D convolution matrix

collapse all in page

Syntax

T = convmtx2(H,m,n)
T = convmtx2(H,[m n])

Description

T = convmtx2(H,m,n) returns the convolution matrix T for the matrix H. If X is an m-by-n matrix, then reshape(T*X(:),size(H)+[m n]-1) is the same as conv2(X,H).

example

T = convmtx2(H,[m n]) returns the convolution matrix, where the dimensions m and n are a two-element vector.

Show that, for the convolution matrix T for the matrix H, if X is an m-by-n matrix, then reshape(T*X(:),size(H)+[m n]-1) is the same as conv2(X,H).

Description of first code block:

H = ones(3,3)/9; % averaging filter 3-by-3
M = 5;
X = magic(M);
T = convmtx2(H,M,M);
Y1 = reshape(T*X(:), size(H)+[5 5]-1)
Y1 = 7×7
