hi
I have Below matrix that distanse from 17 point in image
How i can calculate inverse distance weighting on this matrix?
how weighting on distance that have minim distanse for each row?

This 17-by-17 matrix looks like it was made by pdist2(). And you say it is the distance of every point to every other point. If you want 1 over the distance, just do
inverseDistances = 1 ./ Dist;
To get the min value of inverseDistances, do
minsPerRow = min(inverseDistances, [], 2);
To get the min distance of the original Dist, do
dist2 = Dist; % Initialize
dist2(dist2 == 0) = inf; % Trick to get it to ignore zero distances (point to itself)
minsPerRow = min(dist2, [], 2);

You can call sort on each row.
s = load('Dis_all.mat')
m = 1 ./ s.Dist
[rows, columns] = size(m)
[sortedDistances, sortedIndexes] = sort(m, 2)
sortedIndexes are the indexes in the original, unsorted array. The first 3 columns of that are the indexes of the three other points that are closest to that point. So
sortedIndexes =
17 16 7 15 14 11 13 12 8 10 5 9 6 4 3 2 1
17 16 7 15 14 11 13 12 8 10 5 9 6 4 3 1 2
17 16 7 15 14 11 8 13 12 10 1 2 5 9 6 4 3
17 16 7 15 14 11 8 13 12 10 1 2 5 9 6 3 4
17 16 7 15 14 1 11 13 2 12 9 8 6 10 4 3 5
17 16 7 8 11 15 14 13 12 10 1 5 2 3 4 9 6
17 16 1 9 2 6 4 3 15 14 5 12 13 10 11 8 7
17 16 1 2 9 6 15 14 7 4 3 13 12 5 11 10 8
17 16 7 8 11 15 14 13 12 10 1 5 2 3 4 6 9
17 16 7 1 2 9 6 3 4 15 14 8 5 11 13 12 10
17 16 1 2 7 9 6 3 4 5 8 15 14 10 12 13 11
17 16 7 1 2 6 9 3 4 8 5 15 14 10 11 13 12
17 16 7 1 2 6 9 3 4 5 8 15 14 10 11 12 13
17 7 1 16 2 6 3 4 9 8 5 10 11 12 13 15 14
17 7 1 16 2 6 3 4 9 8 5 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 7 3 4 6 5 9 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 16
1 2 3 6 4 9 7 5 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
You can see that for point 1 (represented by row 1), point 17 is closest, followed by point 16, followed by point 7, with point 2 being farthest away (actually closest in actual distance but farthest in inverse distance).
As another example, for point 16 (represented by row 16) point 1 is closest, followed by point 2, followed by point 7, and point 17 is farthest away.
Why do you want inverse weighting rather than just on the actual distances directly?
