image division into subimages

Hi, does anybody know how a grayscale image can be divided into 64x64 blocks (subimages)?

you can try mat2tiles or mat2cell

OK, here is what exactly I have to do:
I have an image and I have to divide it into 64 blocks of 32x32 each and address them from K1 to K8 so that I can call each separately and apply operations on them.
I read that mat2cell can divide an image in this way:

C=mat2cell(I,[32],[32]) but C is a 8x8 cell array with each cell storing a 32x32 submatrix of I. How can I assign a name to each of the blocks using this sintax and how would this look like a loop.

Thanks a lot.

==============

No, mat2cell can't do this. Not with the convenient syntax you've shown as the following demonstration shows:

>> I=rand(8*32);
>>
>> C=mat2cell(I,[32],[32]);
Error using mat2cell (line 107)
Input arguments, D1 through D2, must sum to each dimension of the input matrix size, [256 256].'



However, mat2tiles will let you do something very similar:

You wouldn't assign a name to each cell separately (that would be poor and awkward practice). You index them, as in the following

for i=1:numel(C)
 C{i}=myfunc(C{i})
end

Or equivalently, you use cellfun

C=cellfun(@myfunc,C,'uniformoutput',0);
