I want to prove (or more precisely experiment with) the idea that a 2D convoltion as produced by the Matlab conv2() function between an image I (2D matrix) and a kernel (smaller 2D matrix) can be implemented as some 1D conv i.e. the Matlab conv() function and NOT conv2(). Of course possibly some reshapes and matrix multiply might be needed but no conv2().

And to make it clear, I am NOT refering to that kind if thing:

s1=[1,0,-1]'
s2=[1 2 1]
diff=conv2(x,y)-conv2(conv2(x,s1),s2)

diff is = 0 everywhere

I want to do something like

conv(conv(x(:), filter1)filter2) ...
