Run Length Encoding in Matlab

Question

I\'m very new with MatLab, I have Run Length Encoding code but it seems to not work, can you help me?

I have this input :

ChainCode  = 110123211707         


        

Answer 1

You can avoid the for loop:

chainCode = '11012321170701000700000700766666666666665555555544443344444333221322222322';
numCode = chainCode - '0'; % turn to numerical array

% detect edges (changes)
edges = arrayfun( @(x,y) x ~= y,    ...
                  numCode(1:end-1), ...
                  numCode(2:end));
% get indexes
idx = find(edges);

% create tuples
relMat = cell2mat(arrayfun(         ...
  @(b,e) [ numCode(b) ; e-b+1 ],    ...
  [ 1 (idx + 1) ],                  ...
  [ idx length(numCode) ],          ...
  'UniformOutput', false));
