Can you help me with this error?

Hi, I am trying to train matlab with positive and negative instances of a set of images. But, when i run the script it's say this:

Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory: C:\Program
Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production
Server\R2015a\toolbox\vision\visiondata\data_total 
> In path (line 109)
  In addpath (line 86)
  In Ipositivas (line 4) 
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in Ipositivas (line 6)
negativeImages = negative(negativeFolder);

This is the code I am running:

load('data_total.mat');
positiveInstances = positiveInstances(:,1:2);
imDir = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','vision','visiondata','data_total');
addpath(imDir);
negativeFolder = fullfile('Users','Raedalex','Desktop','MATLAB','Tesis','negative');
negativeImages = negative(negativeFolder);
trainCascadeObjectDetector('TubesDetector.xml',positiveInstances, ...
    negativeFolder,'FalseAlarmRate',0.1,'NumCascadeStages',5);

It looks like the folder does not exist. And it looks like data_total is the name of a mat file, not a subfolder of "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\toolbox\vision\visiondata"

Try this:

imDir = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','vision','visiondata');

Also, do you have the Computer Vision System Toolbox installed? What does your "ver" command report?

Thanks for taking your time in helping me... It worked. but now its telling me this

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Error in Ipositivas (line 5)
negativeImages = negative(negativeFolder);

I think so, do not know what are you referring at.

Thanks Again.

I don't know what the function or array "negative" is. What is it?

[raed bou aram]

Its for the negative instances i am using for training the program. I am new in this kind of training.

It sounds as if negative is an array. but negativeFolder is a string, so you are trying to index an array at a string. For that statement to be valid then negative would have to be a function name or a function handle.

Please attach 'data_total.mat' and your negative.m file.
