Hello,
Is there a 2D majority filter in MATLAB?
With ordfilt2 minimum, maximum, median etc. filters can be implemented, but not majority. Is there another command with that functionality?
Here 'majority filter' means replacing each element of a matrix by the most frequently occurring element in a set of neighbors of that element.
Regards, Elena

Maybe
blockproc
would help?
fun = @(block_struct) ...
mode(block_struct.data(:)) * ones(size(block_struct.data));
output_matrix = blockproc(input_matrix,[<size_x> <size_y>],fun);

There is no direct function for mode filtering, you can use the colfilt instead:
out = colfilt(img, [5 5], 'sliding', @mode) ;

A new 'modefilt' function for 2D and 3D data was added to Image Processing Toolbox in R2020a:
Both 'colfilt' and 'nlfilter' are generic sliding window functions and can be used to perform mode filtering but the expectation is that 'modefilt' to be faster than both of these functions and also work on 3D grayscale data.

bwmorph(image,'majority')
