Question on sorting and appending data

I'm trying to get the data to sort first by column, 1-360, then by row, 1-74. After it sorts each column, it should return a boolean ring (0's and 1's) ONLY for each row. These rings needs to append onto an image, so for this data set, I should get a maximum of 2 on the image. However, the ring keeps double/triple counting, so I'm getting up to a 5 maximum on the image. After each row, I want to add that row to an image matrix.

My code:

ring=zeros((360),(180));image=zeros((360),(180));
height=floor(100*(rand(74,360)));
width=floor(100*(rand(2,360)));
 for m = 1:length(phi)
        for n = 1:360
            if height(m,n) >= 0 && height(m,n) < 180 && width(m,n) >= 0 && width(m,n) < 360
                ring(width(m,n),height(m,n)) = 1;
                for i = (1:360)
                    for j = (1:180)
                        image(i,j)=image(i,j)+ring(i,j);
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

Not sure how else to describe what I'm trying to do, but if there are any question please ask. Thanks!

Huh?

Please give a very small input and expected output. The smallest data set that shows what you are trying to accomplish.

what I want:

0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Its intersecting data, but on the single rows it sometimes double counts. Its confusing to explain, I know.

Nevermind, it just needed rearranging and a reset on the ring.

    ring=zeros((360),(180));image=zeros((360),(180));
    operand=atan(ellipseY./(sqrt(ellipseX.^2 + ellipseZ.^2)));
    height=floor(operand * deg + 0.5) + 91;
        n=1; m=1;s=0;g=1;
   for m = 1:length(phi)
        for n = 1:360
            if height(m,n) >= 0 && height(m,n) < 180 && width(m,n) >= 0 && width(m,n) < 360
                ring(width(m,n),height(m,n)) = 1;
            end
        end
            for i = (1:360)
                    for j = (1:180)
                        image(i,j)=image(i,j)+ring(i,j);
                    end
            end
            ring=zeros((360),(180));
    end
