BINBlocks

Read and write blocks of blocked image data as binary files

Since R2021a

Description

The BINBlocks object is an adapter that reads and writes blocked image data as binary files.

When writing to disk, the object creates an individual binary file with simple header information for each block. The object saves the binary files in a folder. For multiresolution images, the object creates one subfolder for each resolution level. The object also creates and saves a MAT file with information about the blocked image, including the image size, block size, and data type.
