% BWT decimated filtering
% Version 1.2
%
% This is faster than doing the complete filtering operation with conv2 and
% then decimating the result
% 
% Arguments:
%  im: A square image, with side length a multiple of 3
%  f:  A 3x3 filter
%
% Result:
%  imf: im is filtered with f, and the result is decimated, taking every 
%       3rd value in x and y. This code is equivalent to:
%       imf = conv2(im, rot90(rot90(f)),'same');
%       imf = imf(2:3:end,2:3:end);
