Blocked Images
A big image may not fit into memory, which makes it challenging to display and
process. The blockedImage object solves this problem by representing an image
as a collection of smaller blocks of data that can be independently loaded and
processed. A blockedImage object can support large images and
images with one or multiple resolution levels.
Functions
Topics
- Set Up Spatial Referencing for Blocked Images
This example shows how to set up and verify the spatial referencing information of a
blockedImageobject. - Read Whole-Slide Images with OpenSlide
This example shows how to add support for reading whole-slide images by creating a custom blocked image adapter.
- Explore Blocked Image Details with Interactive ROIs
This example shows how to display a detailed region of a blocked image selected interactively using ROI tools.
- Warp Blocked Image at Coarse and Fine Resolution Levels
This example shows how to apply a geometric transformation (warping) to a blocked image.
- Label Very Large High-Resolution Images Using Image Labeler (Computer Vision Toolbox)
This topic explains how to efficiently label high-resolution and large-scale images using the Image Labeler app, especially when working with images too large to fit into memory.
- Convert Image Labeler Polygons to Labeled Blocked Image for Semantic Segmentation
This example shows how to convert polygon labels stored in a
groundTruthobject into a labeled blocked image suitable for semantic segmentation workflows.
