Hi,
As per my understanding, you want to import the image dataset into MATLAB and split the dataset into "inputs" and "targets".
Kindly follow the steps given below in order to import the image dataset:
- Organize the images in separate folders according to classes or categories.
- Use the "imageDatastore" function in MATLAB to import the Dataset. This will import all the images and set the labels according to the folder names. Refer to the following code.
dataPath = 'pathToTheDataset'; % path to the folder containing your images
% Create an ImageDatastore object
imds = imageDatastore(dataPath, 'LabelSource', 'foldernames', "IncludeSubfolders",true);
3. The images and the corresponding labels can be extracted using the following code:
imageFiles = imds.Files;
Labels = imds.Labels;
4. The dataset may be splitted into "trainSet" and "testSet" using "splitEachLabel" function in MATLAB.
% Specify the training and testing split ratio
trainRatio = 0.9;
testRatio = 0.1;
% Split the dataset
[trainSet, testSet] = splitEachLabel(imds, trainRatio, testRatio, 'randomized');
Refer to the following documentation link to learn more about "imageDatastore" function:
Hope it helps!
