read an image from windows with imread

Question

i want to read an image from my windows with imread in matlab. my image name is "chest.jpg" but when i read I = imread('chest.jpg'); it shows errors : File "chest.jpg" does not exist. and fullname = get_full_filename(filename);

how can I read my image from my folder?

Answer 1

If you image is in 'project_folder/another_folder/.../' you must use

imread('project_folder/another_folder/.../chest.jpg')

I suggest to use a relative path if the image is inside the script folder or in some internal folder. If it is in an independent path you can use an absolute path.
