Taking average of pixel values across multiple frames

I have a 1x3 cell containing image data as a 5504 x 8256 double, each value in the matrix is a pixel grayscale intensity value. Each cell is a picture at a different time or frame. What I want to do is take the average pixel value across each frame. So say I have N number of frames or pictures, I want to average pixel at (row 1, column 1) across those N frames and so on for (row 1, column 2),(row 1, column 3).....and end up with a 5504 x 8256 matrix that has the average pixel value across the number of frames in my cell. Any ideas on how to do this? I was messing around with 3 4x3 double matrices in a 1x3 cell for ease but I was not able to find an efficient way in a for loop to do this for each pixel location.

couldn't you just put it into a non cell matrix of 5504 x8256 x 3 then use mean(data,3) to take the mean in the 3rd dimension? or just add the cell index wise then divide by 3.

So I tried converting cell to matrix cell2mat() but it doesnt create a 3D matrix but another matrix with just more elements in the 2 dimensions. The code I have for saving multiple images into a cell is not my own and I am not sure how I could just directly make my data a matrix (m x n x N) instead of a cell with 2D matrices. I will give adding the cell index wise a shot, thanks for the help.
oh that can be accomplished by reshaping the concatenated matrix. see small example below
a = [1 2;3 4];
Acell = {a,a,a};
Acell2mat = cell2mat(Acell)
%looks to concatenate by column
[arow acol]=size(Acell{1})
Amatstack = reshape(Acell2mat,arow,acol,numel(Acell));
MeanA = mean(Amatstack,3)
awesome, that seems to be doing the trick, thank you so much!
