stacking rgb images into 3d or 4d variable

7 views (last 30 days)
I have mri frames that are in rgb and I want stack them in a 4d variable ( height x width x 3 channels x number of frames) so that I can view them as a montage.
How can i do this?

If the height and width are the same for all images, use cat().
a = ones(5,6,3)+0;
b = ones(5,6,3)+1;
c = ones(5,6,3)+2;
stacked = cat(4,a,b,c);
% ^ concatenate along 4th dim
If the image sizes are not identical, you can pad them smaller ones to match the size of the larged one by using paddarray() and then use cat().

Thank you for your response. Yes here is the link to the question I put previously on the forum https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/489011-fuzzy-clustering-only-on-pixels-zero
I've re put my question on the forum, showing my thought process of trying to work through this problem, but Im still getting the same reshaping error

the array was in double so I thought to turn it in to uint8 class which was the original format of the frames so that i could visualize it.
the size of array is 1 x 10 x 1 x 33 which is strange.
and array is stored as a 4-d uint8.
where as the dimensions of each frame is 128 x 128 x 3, so i'm guessing that when it is concatenating it is cutting down the image dimensions.
