Can i use blocproc for processing 16 blocks.

For an input image of 512*512 i have done wavelet transform and have created 8*8 blocks based on spatial resolution.I have made 64 8*8 block .After that i need to do encoding separately for 16 blocks,for that can i use blockproc function like

edgeFun = @(block_struct) bpeencoder(WW,8); block_value = blockproc(WW,[16,16],edgeFun);
