thanks for the answer. But i have an image size of (19 61) and i have to divide it into 6 segments of 2 rows and 3 columns.

mat2cell will do this for you if you feed it the matrix and to vectors with how many elements to place in each of 2x3 cells.

Where did you post your image?

6 segments of 2 rows and 3 columns would be at most 12 rows or 18 columns. What do you want to do with the rest of the 19 x 61 matrix?

How do you want to split it up? Are there any branchpoints? bwmorph() has a options to detect branchpoints and that could let you split the skeleton up into a bunch of separate line segments, basically because it removes the branchpoints that connect them.
