MATLAB: Just a question

mode

let's say i have the image:
img =
[1 0 -1;
 0 -1 0;
 1 1 -1];
and I'd like to get the values on the 8-connected area around the center:
vals = [0 -1 0 1 0 1 1 -1];
and then get the most common and least common values, and if there are two, to pick the lowest value.
I can only thing to do:
meh = im2col(img,[3 3],'distinct');
meh(5,:) = [];
answer = mode(meh);
but i can't figure out a way to get the least common thing unless i do ~mode a bunch of times…
Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

You could use blockproc and have the blockproc function call hist. But you know that there could be up to 8 values that are the least common. What if your 8 neighbors are 8 unique values? What do you want to do then?
