How to create a 3D matrix with third dimension equal one in matlab

Question

I want to create a 3D matrix of (MxNx1) dimension. where third dimension is equal to 1. I am trying something like zeros(M,N,1) but it is returning a matrix of (MxN) dimension instead of (MxNx1) dimension. Is there any way of creating a 3D matrix where third dimension equal to 1.

Answer 1

How do you process a MxNxD image? I could only image that the useage of the third dimension is:

[M,N,D] = size(your3DMatrix);

Then you use D for further coding. Another possible useage is

permute(your3DMatrix,[n1 n2 n3])

Anyway, these both work fine for matrix whose third dimension is 1.

If you detail your code dealing with the MxNx1 matrix, it would be easier to help you.
