Letting the image be IM and assuming it is double(),
NewImage = (IM(1:2:end, 1:2:end) + IM(2:2:end, 1:2:end) + IM(1:2:end, 2:2:end) + IM(2:2:end, 2:2:end)) / 4;

This formula processes all pixels in the image at the same time. I just noticed that it will fail if the height or width are odd.
It works by taking the average of the pixels at (I,J), (I+1,J), (I,J+1), (I+1,J+1), doing so for every second row and ever second column.

Hello Walter Roberson
I think it's ok for grayscale image. Could you help me about rgbImage?
