MATLAB: Calculating the distance between two matrices Matlab

digital image processingmatricesmatrix manipulation

I want to calculate the distance between two different DFT results after i performed this code:
I1 = imread('sample1');%read the images
I2 = imread('sample2');
GI1 = rgb2gray(I1) %change it to grayscale
GI2 = rgb2gray(I2)
DftR1 = DFT(GI1) %perform the 2-dimensional DFT(a function that i built it myself)
DftR2 = DFT(GI2)
so far it all worked; however when i want to compare the results of the DFT using this code:
Distance = pdist2(DftR1, DftR2)
I get this particular error: Error using pdist2 (line 224) PDIST2 does not accept complex data for built-in distances.

Best Answer

The DFT that the code you posted previously returns will be complex.
If pdist2 wants only real values,
Distance = pdist2(abs(DftR1), abs(DftR2));
will likely work.
