How do I divide an image into blocks for processing?

I am new to MATLAB.
I am trying to write code which will divide the image in nonoverlaping blocks of size 3*3. I am supposed to do operations on specific blocks like getting the value of the center pixel of block and do some operations.
I don't know where to start. Using command like blockproc wont help. Can anyone suggest a start point?

The best way to do this is to use the "mat2cell" command. It's very simple.
- a=3; b=3; %window size
- x=size(f,1)/a; y=size(f,2)/b; %f is the original image
- m=a*ones(1,x); n=b*ones(1,y);
- I=mat2cell(f,m,n);

blockproc() is able to handle situations where the original matrix does not happen to have dimensions that are multiples of 3. Your code will crash on those cases.

Suppose I is your image matrix. Trivial way is shown below:
s=size(I);
wing=1; % ;)
bs=2*wing+1; % block size
for i=wing: bs : (s(1)-wing)
for j=wing : bs : (s(2)-wing)
BLOCK=I( (i-wing):(i+wing) , (j-wing):(j+wing) );
%
% paste your function/code which processes the BLOCK
%
end
end
