create function to save image in dataset in matlab

Here's an example function in MATLAB to save an image in a dataset using the matfile() function:

main.m
function save_image_to_dataset(filename, datasetname, image)
% SAVE_IMAGE_TO_DATASET saves an image to a dataset in a MATLAB mat file.

% Open the mat file for writing
m = matfile(filename,'Writable',true);

% Write the image to the specified dataset
m.(datasetname) = image;

% Close the mat file
clear m;
end

13 lines

Here's how you can use this function to save an image named my_image to a dataset named dataset1 in a MAT file named my_data.mat:

main.m
my_image = imread('my_image.jpg'); % read the image
save_image_to_dataset('my_data.mat', 'dataset1', my_image); % save the image to the dataset
144 chars
3 lines

Note that the matfile object is closed when the function exits, even if it exits due to an error, so the clear command at the end is not strictly necessary, but it's good practice to ensure that the file is closed properly.
