Input argument undefined - MATLAB function/subfunction

Question

I am testing a part of a function for my work in MATLAB. I have defined a function and subfunction as follows(just for testing):

function funct
clear all;
clc;
I         


        

Answer 1

I don't have the image processing toolbox, so I can't check this myself, but it looks like nlfilter expects a function of just one argument. Try changing the call to nlfilter like this:

A = nlfilter(I, [7 7], @(x) dirvar(x,ld));

Answer 2

Chethan is correct in that nlfilter() expects one argument only -- so you need another way to provide the dirvar() function with the ld argument.

One option is to define the dirvar function as a nested function inside the calling function. I.e.,

function funct
% ...
ld = input('Enter the lag = ') % prompt for lag distance
A = nlfilter(I, [7 7], @dirvar);

% Subfunction
    function [h] = dirvar(I)
        c = (size(I)+1)/2
        EW = I(c(1),c(2):end)
        h = length(EW) - ld
    end

end
