How to read multiple images without renaming images like 10_left.jpeg, 13_left.jpeg, 15_left.jpeg

If I have multiple images in a folder e.g 10_left.jpeg, 13_left.jpeg, 15_left.jpeg, 16_left.jpeg & i want to read images in matlab one by one without renaming these images. how can I do it?

Hi Hassan,

Obviously your files names have a pattern.

You can make a for loop and create the file names

for i = 10:15
    fileName = ['C:\myFolder\myPics\',num2str(i),'_left.jpg'];
    try
       image = imread(fileName); % Have a look at Image Analyst comment  
    catch
         disp('file doesn't exist'); 
    end
end

This is the basic idea, you can make it better and more specific.

Good luck!

Thanks alot for the help. I was making a mistake with the num2str command. Thanks again. :)

But please don't use image as the name of your variable since it's a built in function and you'll blow it away if you use image as the name of your variable.

@Image Analyst.

Thanks a lot for your attention Image Analyst. I didn't know image is a MATLAB function.
