MATLAB: Splitting an image into smaller regions

Question

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a code that creates an RGB descriptor for visual search. i've managed to implement the rgb descriptor on the whole image. but i wanted to experiment by splitting the same image up into smaller areas and rerun the experiment by calculating the rgb descriptor on smaller parts of the image.

the reason behind this, is because i'm using a query image against a dataset in order to find visually similar results. but if i split up my image into smaller pieces, i got a feeling it will be more accurate.

my question is, is there a function or piece of code that could help me with this?

Thanks

See the FAQ for 2 different ways, depending on how you want to do it.
