conv2() - Signal Processing

C = conv2(A,B) computes
the two-dimensional convolution of matrices A and B.
If one of these matrices describes a two-dimensional finite impulse
response (FIR) filter, the other matrix is filtered in two dimensions.
The size of C is determined as follows:  if [ma,na]
= size(A), [mb,nb] = size(B), and [mc,nc]
= size(C), then mc = max([ma+mb-1,ma,mb]) and nc
= max([na+nb-1,na,nb]).C = conv2(h1,h2,A) first
convolves each column of A with the vector h1 and
then convolves each row of the result with the vector h2.
The size of C is determined as follows: if n1
= length(h1) and n2 = length(h2), then mc
= max([ma+n1-1,ma,n1]) and nc = max([na+n2-1,na,n2]).C = conv2(...,shape) returns
a subsection of the two-dimensional convolution, as specified by the shape parameter:'full'Returns the full two-dimensional convolution (default).
'same'Returns the central part of the convolution of the same
size as A.
'valid' Returns only those parts of the convolution that are
computed without the zero-padded edges. Using this option, size(C)
= max([ma-max(0,mb-1),na-max(0,nb-1)],0).
Note:  


All numeric inputs to conv2 must be of
type double or single.

Syntax

C = conv2(A,B)C = conv2(h1,h2,A)C = conv2(...,shape)

Example

A = rand(3); 
B = rand(4); 
C = conv2(A,B)   % C is 6-by-6
