Replace repetitive values in a matrix with another value?

Hello there,
I'm new to Matlab so hopefully I can attempt to explain this! I have an image that has some interference that I am looking to get rid of. I have displayed each pixel in the image as a value from 0 to 255 in a matrix. The interference is in the form of repetitive values. So for example (and simplicity sake) one row of the matrix may look like:
1 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 5 3 3 3 6 3 7
Where the interference would be the string of 3 3 3 3 3 and 3 3 3 and the single 3 there would be valid.
What I would like to do is replace the repetitive values in the entire matrix with a nearest neighbor value say median of the pixel above and below and if that's not possible maybe just NAN. Would anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

is the repetitive value known? is the repetitive value always the same for a given image (e.g. will the repeated value in the image always be a 3)?

x = [1 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 5 3 3 3 6 3 7] data
idxrep = ~diff([-inf,x]) %pad with -inf and identify areas of zero change (~)
x(idxrep)=nan; %replace with NaN, or whatever
If you chose the NaN route and want an awesome way to fill them:
y = inpaint_nans(x)

Convert the vector to double-precision data type (needed because integers cannot represent NaN.) diff() it. Replace the places the diff() was 0 with NaN.
Step after that: consider using the File Exchange inpaint_nans

The problem that I can see with diff() is that it reduces the number of elements in each row by 1 because it takes the difference between adjacent values. I do not want the matrix size to change at all because it is an image I wish to analyze afterwards and pixel position is important.

So I have
imgname = 'my tif file path'
imgmat = imread(imgname);
idxrep = ~diff([-inf,imgmat])
imgmat(idxrep) = NaN
and I get
Error using horzcat CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.
Error in test (line 6) idxrep = ~diff([-inf,xd])

Well, yes. My example was for a row vector. For a matrix you'll have to do a little more work. Specifically you will have to add a column vector to the front of the matrix (rather than a scalar) (this is the cause of the HORZCAT error). Second, you will have to specify which dimension you want to differentiate across.
x = repmat([1 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 5 3 3 3 6 3 7],10,1);
idxrep = [false(size(x,1),1) ~diff(x,1,2)]
x(idxrep) = NaN

Ahh! Gotcha! Thanks! And thanks for the inpaint_nan link everyone! That was extremely helpful!
