Hello everyone! I have a question about a function. First of all I have to say that I'm implementing on Matlab the Seam Carving technique by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir (you can see here what is there: http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/SCWeb/imret/) and I need a function that, given an Image and a number, calculate the cumulative energy map. The number says that the function have to use a particular energy function. The name of the function is "imenergy" and there are three only possible calls of this function: * imenergy(I, 1) calculate the cumulative energy map with gradient * imenergy(I, 2) calculate the cumulative energy map with L1 norm of gradient * imenergy(I, 3) calculate the cumulative energy map with entropy where I is the image in input. The problem on this function are 2 nested for loops contained in the if. I'm asking if someone is able to vectorize this nested for loops because they make my function be very very slow on big images. Here you can download the code from my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k2z17rusia3nkrx/imenergy.m?dl=0 Thanks to all very much!

How to vectorize this nested for loop?
