is there a method to divide the image in to blocks

This looks to me to be effectively the same question as http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/12805-sliding-window

Yes:

oneBlock = fullSizedImage(row1:row2, column1:column2);

or if you want to process in blocks but not extract each block of the image out into a separate block array, check blockproc().
