Compute Autocorrelation of Input Matrix

This example shows how to compute autocorrelation of a 5-by-5 input matrix using the 2-D Autocorrelation block.

The output of the model is a 9-by-9 matrix consisting of autocorrelation coefficients.

The coefficient values shows the similarity between the input matrix and its shifted form. The value of the autocorrelation coefficient at a point (i, j) is high, if the values in the original matrix and the shifted matrix are similar.

model = 'ex_blkautocorrelation.slx';
open_system(model)

Run the model and export the computed autocorrelation coefficients to MATLAB® workspace. Display the coefficients using disp function.

out = sim(model);
disp(out.val)
