MATLAB: Matrix Average of neighbour values

MATLAB

After creating a matrix of order MxM it will then output a new matrix in which each element is calculated from the original matrix by finding the average of each element adjacent (horizontally, vertically, excluding diagonal elements) to the original element including the element itself.
For example 
M=3
then matrix is 
[1,2,3;6,5,4;7,8,9]
element 
�(1,1) = (1 + 2 + 6 )/ 3 = 3
�
�(1,2) = (1 + 2 + 3 + 5 ) /4 = 3

Hello!
I think using conv2 was a great idea. However, you should use it like this
DIM=3;
aa=[0 1 0;1 1 1;0 1 0];
matrix=[1,2,3;6,5,4;7,8,9];
conv2(matrix, aa, 'same')./conv2(ones(DIM),aa, 'same')
This way of convolution does not account for diagonal neighbours. Afterwards, if you do not want decimals, use ceil or round depending on your desire.
Hope this helps :)
