How to pick the elements of matrix only for selected value?

6 views (last 30 days)
I have a matrix named B with size 128x128. The matrix has elements with different value in range from 2-196. I want to use the elements with value only 2-36 and arrange it into a row.
For example:
B = [14 7 89 157 190 45 26; 144 11 9 20 78 23 123; 1 13 23 8 100 88 31; 6 30 33 145 166 29 15]
I want to pick the value only in range 2-36, and rearrange it into a row.
E = [ 14 7 26 11 9 20 23 13 23 8 31 6 30 33 19 15]
How to do this?

E = reshape(B(B>2 & B<36), 1, []);

First, I'd convert it to a column vector:
BC = B(:);
Then, I'd use find() to search in values:
E = BC(find(BC>=2).*find(BC<=36));
You can also use find() on a matrix directly, which I leave it to you to discover, type:

find(BC >= 2) .* find(BC <= 36) fails, when the number of elements differ. Using logical indexing is more efficient, such that you can omit the find. And then the ".*" becomes equivalent to the and() operation:
E = BC(BC >= 2 & BC <= 36);
