Define what "database" means to you. Like an actual database, or just a folder of images, or something else. Also, do you have the Database Toolbox?

[Sadiq Shah]

I have all these images in a folder. I want to store all these in workspace to be avalable for me to use it in my code for matching purposes.And want that its .mat file is also formed.

for i=1:5

        dataBase(i,:)=['Images/Database/' int2str(i) '.jpg '];

end

save theDatabase

I have this code but cannot use it for my images. It make theDatabase.mat

load them into separate cell array

imageDB{1}=imread('img1.jpg');
imageDB{2}=imread('img2.jpg');

[Sadiq Shah]

Thanks Muhammad... See my problem in my comment above and help me.

[Mohammad Abouali]

dataBase=cell(5,1);
for i=1:5
  dataBase{i}=imread(['Images/Database/' int2str(i) '.jpg ']);
end

save dataBase dataBase

[Sadiq Shah]

Thanks Muhammad,thanks for your help... I have made it. It works well. Now please tell me that how read all these images by using a single imread function after loading it using the 'load dataBase' function in my code?

[Image Analyst]

See the FAQ entry in my answer. It gives you sample code for doing that.

[Mohammad Abouali]

Yes,

typing load dataBase would do. You can access each image by typing dataBase{i}.

Also make sure to read the link that ImageAnalyst has given you. It contains a lot of useful information.

Dear " Image Analyst" i need your help.

problem: let say i have 5 images of 300x300 and these images are simple color images, say; ist image is red color image, 2nd is blue, 3rd is yellow, 4th is white and 5th is black color image. so first i have to save all 5 images like a database then i can input one image from the above image and find out the correct image from my database (just like correlation) i-e my input image is the ist image from my database or my input image is the 2nd image from my database or my input image is the 3rd image from my database... and so on...

and we can choose the correct image from our database on the basis of color...

kindly send the code of above stated problem "Image Analyst", if possible.

thankyou.

The imageSet class in the Computer Vision System Toolbox gives you an easy way to create a collection of images.

[Martino Corno]

What do you mean with imagine collection?

Sir, i need create one food database and i compare my input food image with the data base....in matlab ,,,how to i do this...

[Image Analyst]

There are many aspects of that: image capture (cameras, lighting, etc.), data storage, image analysis, feature vector comparison, what to do based on the results, etc. It's too much to ask us to layout an entire turnkey system for you. Can you ask a much smaller, simpler, more targeted question?

[Image Analyst]

Use imread() if you can.

theImage = imread(fullFileName);
