MATLAB: I have two matrices and I would like to create a matrix containing the above threshold value of each element of both matrices

Question

I have two matrices of the same size and for each element I would like to do the following:

if the value of the element in matrix2 is above the threshold, keep the value

else assign the value of matrix1 to this element.

Is this possible without for loops?

Answer 1

Is this possible without for loops?

Yes. One way is as follows:

mask=(matrix2>=threshold);
result = matrix2.*mask + matrix1.*(~mask);
