Remove Page From Multipage TIFFs In Matlab

Question

I have tiff files where I want to remove the even numbered pages. I have read other posts asking for the method in many different languages except for Matlab. How can this be done in Matlab?

Answer 1

The solution for your problem is to read only the relevant tiff pages (i.e. the odd ones) and the save them in a separate file. This can be done as follows:

%defines path to input and output files
inputFileName = '<input file name>';
outFileName = 'out.tiff';

%reads tiff file info
tiffData= imfinfo(inputFileName);

%reads every odd page and append it to the output file
for k = 1:2:numel(tiffData)
currentTiff = imread(inputFileName,k);
imwrite(currentTiff, outFileName, 'writemode', 'append');
end
