Syntax

data = gather(bim)
data = gather(bim,'Level',L)

Description

data = gather(bim) returns an image in the workspace formed by assembling all the blocks of the blockedImage, bim. By default, gather collects blocks from the coarsest level (level with the least amount of data).

example

data = gather(bim,'Level',L) returns an array formed by assembling all the blocks from the specified resolution level L.

Examples

Open Script

Create a blocked image using a modified version of image "tumor_091.tif" from the CAMELYON16 data set. The original image is a training image of a lymph node containing tumor tissue. The original image has eight resolution levels, and the finest level has resolution 53760-by-61440. The modified image has only three resolution levels. The spatial referencing of the modified image has been adjusted to enforce a consistent aspect ratio and to register features at each level.

bim = blockedImage('tumor_091R.tif');

Use gather to extract the coarsest resolution level. By default, gather returns the coarsest level

level_coarsest = gather(bim);

Use gather to extract the finest resolution level. You must specify the resolution level. The finest resolution level is always numbered 1.

level_finest = gather(bim, "Level", 1);

Display the coarsest resolution level and finest resolution level side-by-side.

montage({level_coarsest,level_finest})
