I have 1500 images in a folder called "Sample" in MATLAB folder. So how can I read 1500 images one by one and make some operations on them? I know I need a for loop, but I cannot think a better way to do this.

I can read multiple images from MATLAB folder using this code...

tifFiles = dir('*.tif'); 
for k = 1:length(tifFiles)
filename = tifFiles(k).name;
I = imread(filename);
% operations on "I"
end

But if I want to read all the images from a folder called "Sample", what should be my code..?

Either include the directory name sotoo

filename = ['sample\' tifFiles(k).name];  % salt to suit...

or you could change the working directory to the one containing the files.

Or you might find

doc fullpath  % and friends

useful

The code outline remains very similar to what you had already:

sdirectory = 'Sample';
tifffiles = dir([sdirectory '/*.tif']);
for k = 1:length(tifffiles)
filename = [sdirectory '/' tifffiles(k).name];
I = imread(filename);
% operations on "I"
end

The major thing to note here is that dir() does not retain any directory 
information in the .name field of the structure, so if you dir() 
something other than the current directory you have to add back in the 
directory name when you want to operate on the file.
