Split image is one of methods for understanding image in details. Usually, this function is applied in several programs of computer vision or pattern recognition.  Before we code, prepare a picture which will be split into small dimensions. For instance,  you can see a cat as shown below  (Is it right that a cat is so innocent ? 😀 ) . I called this image file with “Kucing.png”

From the image above, now we will split in, and put every single part into a folder which named “folderPus”. The results of running program is shown below.  How build a function of split image in Matlab code? Well, let check this out!

Here some codes in Matlab. I have explained through comments among codes.  You can save this function using file name “Split.m”

[code language=”matlab”]
% Created by Yuita Arum Sari
% Input yang dibutuhkan adalah
% file : nama file tempat kita meletakkan file gambar
% dimensi : ukuran dimensi yang digunakan untuk memotong gambar menjadi
% bagian yang lebih kecil
% folderTitle : folder tempat menyimpan file-file gambar dengan dimensi
% yang lebih kecil

function Split(file,dimensi,folderTitle);

[pathstr, name, ext] = fileparts(file);
gambar=imread(file);
[panjang lebar tinggi]=size(gambar);

% pecahan dimensi panjang
% banyaknya kotak dari panjang berdasarkan dimensi
p=[];
panjang=panjang/dimensi;
for i=1:panjang;
p=[p;i*dimensi];
end

% pecahan dimensi lebar
% banyaknya kotak dari lebar berdasarkan dimensi
l=[];
lebar=lebar/dimensi;
for i=1:lebar;
l=[l;i*dimensi];
end

% menambahkan elemen 0 diatas data panjang
pjg=[0;p];
% menambahkan elemen 0 diatas data lebar
lbr=[0;l];

jumlah=size(l,1);
folder=(folderTitle); % mendeklarasikan nama folder
mkdir(folder); % mebuat folder baru
% relative path yang digunakan untuk menyimpan file gambar yang telah
% terpotong kecil-kecil
basePath = ([‘/Users/yuitaarumsari/Documents/testing/’,folder])

for k=1:size(p,1)
a=k
for i=1:a
for j=1:size(l,1)
g=gambar(1+pjg(i):p(i),1+lbr(j):l(j),:)
baseFileName = sprintf(([name,’-‘,’%d.png’]), j+jumlah*(a-1));
fullFileName = fullfile(basePath, baseFileName);
imwrite(g, fullFileName, ‘png’);
end
end
end
[/code]

And you can run function above using these codes

[code language=”matlab”]
file = ‘/Users/yuitaarumsari/Documents/testing/Kucing.png’;
dimensi = 100;
folderTitle = ‘folderPus’;
Split(file, dimensi, folderTitle);
[/code]

Well, that’s my simple case and you can improve or modify the code based on your necessity. Happy coding! 🙂
