I got the matrix above How can I find de MAXIMUM & MINIMUM locals and put the X,Y coodinate into a vector X and a vector Y and when i plot X vs Y o got the dots representating the maximum and minumum values with different color for max and min ps. remember to consider the noise

On a discrete surface, every point is both a local max and local min -- at least until you define your neighborhood. If you want noise to be taken in to account, you also have to define either a noise detection function (if you want to ignore points with noise) or a smoothing function.
You also need to define the behaviour you want for saddle-points, that are local min in one direction but local max in another.
You might want to use gradient() perhaps.

Post the images on a service such as tinypic or imageshack and post the URL here.
