minimun value in 2D array

Can some body show me how to find minimum value in an image or 2D array along with its index. Regards

Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

doc min;

And an example:

A = magic(100);
[Amin minidx] = min(A(:));

Answer 2

I think you are looking for the minimum across both dimensions; something like this:

A = magic(5);
minValue = min(min(A));
[ind1, ind2] = find(A==minValue);

There are other ways to do this. For example, you can reshape the 2D array into a 1D array, and call min(), but then you have to convert the index back to the equivalent value for the 2D array using ind2sub(). I'm not sure wich is fast for large arrays, but the above method is more intuitive (in my opinion).
