How to save files into a specific folder

  • Follow


hello,
I am working on a dataset of movies, and each set contains 9 videos, so i am willing to save the frames of each video in a separate folder, can anyone help me on that?? I would be very greatful. bellow is the code I am using, but this help only to save the frames of first video of the set into 'jpg' files, but i need to locate them into a folder (i). for example I have (i) videos and I would like to save the frames of video (i) in folder (i).
Hoping to hear from you!!
Thank you in advance!!
Kaoutar

addpath(genpath('C:\Users\kaoutar\Desktop\Motion'));
jacking=dir('jack');  % Contains 9 videos
no_files_bend = size(jacking,1);

for k=3:length(jacking)
    jack =jacking(k).name;
    Vid = aviread(jack,1:10);
     for i=1:length(Vid)
        imwrite(Vid(i).cdata,[num2str(i) '.jpeg'])
    end
end

Kaoutar :
That's done in my demo below.  Note how I create a new subfolder based
on the name of the input movie file.  Then I store the individual
frames in that folder.  It's very well commented so hopefully you can
follow along.
IMPORTANT: THE NEWSREADER WILL SPLIT LONG LINES INTO TWO OR MORE
LINES.  BE SURE TO JOIN ANY LINES SPLIT INTO TWO OR MORE LINES.

% Demo macro to extract frames and get frame means from an avi movie
% and save individual frames to separate image files.
% Also computes the mean gray value of the color channels.

Does this do what you want?

numI=num2str(i);
numK=num2str(k);
imwrite(Vid(i).cdata,['c:\mydir' numK '\' numI '.jpeg'])

I'm missing how that "save the frames of each video in a separate
folder" like you asked.  My demo does do what you asked, but the
solution you say worked saves ALL videos in the SAME c:\mydir folder.
To change it you'd have to manually type in a new folder name -- my
solution comes up with a "separate folder" (like you asked)
automatically.
Wondering if you even ran my demo....
