MATLAB Function for Converting Image Sequences to Video

Resource Overview

This MATLAB function implements image-to-video conversion by processing all images within a specified directory and compiling them into a coherent video file.

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB function enables the conversion of image sequences from a specified directory into a video file. The implementation involves scanning the target directory for image files, sorting them in a predetermined sequence, and sequentially encoding them into a video format. The function typically utilizes MATLAB's VideoWriter object for video creation, supporting various codecs like MPEG-4 or AVI. It automates frame rate configuration and image resizing to maintain consistency, handling common image formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.) through imread() function. This utility is particularly valuable for creating slide-show presentations or continuous video sequences from image collections, significantly reducing manual effort with efficient batch processing. The algorithm ensures proper temporal sequencing through filename-based or metadata-driven sorting, making it ideal for time-lapse projects or image dataset visualization. With simple parameter adjustments for output quality and frame timing, this function provides a streamlined solution for rapid video generation from static images.
