How can I divide an image into two halves? Then, after dividing it make each half independent, say
A = top half and
B = the bottom half.
So that I can extract features from each half.

Hi Jack, Azzi,
Please I need a clarification about the usage of the following method:
im=imread('yourimage')
n=fix(size(im,1)/2)
A=im(1:n,:,:);
B=im(n+1:end,:,:)
imshow(A)
figure
imshow(B)
I try to use it on a grayscale image, but the results are 2 blank images. Please how can I edit your code to make it divide my image. I know you use it with a rgb image.
Thank you!

A and B are probably double for some reason. Try
imshow(A, []);
imshow(B, []);
Start your own question if you need more help.
And there is a FAQ for the original poster's question: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_split_an_image_into_non-overlapping_blocks.3F

It says A is equal to rows 1 through n, all columns, all color rows. The colon means "all" if it's by itself, or "to" if it's in an expressions like 1:n.
So if n is the middle row, A will be the top half. Then B picks up from one row below the middle row. It says B equals all rows from one row below the middle row to the last row, and all columns and all color channels. If it's grayscale, having an extra : in there for the third index will not hurt - it will just ignore it.
