Accepted Answer

There is also a Median Absolute Deviation which is more robust to outliers than the Mean absolute deviation. I have a demo for that it you want. Otherwise

madBlock = mean2(abs(double(block1) - double(block2)));

For color images, you'd have to do it for each color channel because mean2() works on 2D images, not 3D color images.

madBlockR = mean2(abs(double(block1R) - double(block2R)));
madBlockG = mean2(abs(double(block1G) - double(block2G)));
madBlockB = mean2(abs(double(block1B) - double(block2B)));

And there is the FAQ for dividing an image into blocks (two different ways): http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_split_an_image_into_non-overlapping_blocks.3F
