    The imageSet object has been removed. To manage collections of image data use an imageDatastore object instead. For more information, see Version History.

    Description

    An imageSet object stores information about an image data set or a collection of image data sets. You can use this object to manage your image data. The object contains image descriptions, locations of images, and the number of images in your collection.

    Creation

    Syntax

    imgSet = imageSet(imageLocation)
    imgSetVector = imageSet(imgFolder,'recursive')

    Description

    imgSet = imageSet(imageLocation) creates an imageSet object.

    imgSetVector = imageSet(imgFolder,'recursive') returns a vector of image sets found through a recursive search starting from imgFolder. The imgSetVector output is a 1-by-NumFolders vector of imageSet objects, where NumFolders is the number of folders that contain at least one image.

    Input Arguments
