blockproc()

[S .p.aramesh S]

thank u for reply,it is correct or not

I = imread(file_name); maxfun = @(block_struct) max(block_struct.data);

block_size = [50 50]; block_max = blockproc(I,block_size,maxfun); disp(block_max); figure imshow(block_max); title('Block Processing - Simplest Syntax');

[Stefan Raab]

The line

max(block_struct.data);

will return a vector of maximum values if the input is a matrix. If you want only the largest element, you have to use

max(block_struct.data(:));

Then the matrix is converted to a vector before the max value is extracted.

Walter and Stefan are correct. There is also some more complete code in the FAQ. I've also attached my two demos on blockproc(), for what it's worth. You can just modify it to take the max, like Stefan said.
