MATLAB: Search specific layer of multidimensional matrix for range of values

findMATLABmatrixmatrix manipulation

I have a layered matrix (3 layers) seen below and what I want to do is search for a range of values in the 2nd layer and then the 3rd layer and return the indices where the range of numbers are found. Lets say I have a variable dx that has a range of values and I want to return the indices in the 2nd and 3rd layer which have any of these values. Any ideas on how to do this? I was thinking of using the find command but am not sure how to use that with multidimensional matrices. Don't get bogged down by all of the code for setting up the matrices, it is just a simple 180×180 matrix with random integers and 2 layers with specified values in each. Thanks!

H1 = -90:1:90;
H2 = H1(find(H1~=0));
V1 = -90:1:90;
V2 = V1';
V3 = V2(find(V2~=0));
N(:,:,2) = H2(ones(180,1),:);
N(:,:,3) = V3(:,ones(180,1));

Best Answer

idx2 = ismember(N(:,:,2), dx);
idx3 = ismember(N(:,:,3), dx);
