how to retrieve image from google

Started by mari...@gmail.com March 26, 2007
Dear All,

I am trying to get images from the google image search engine to my
hard-disk.  I managed to query the google through the following in
matlab.
web(['http://images.google.com/images?q= mario ]


What I need is to find a way /code in Matlab to download the images
found to a directory on my harddisk for further processing.  Is there
anyone there that can help me out?  I need it for my project.

I thank you in advance,
Mario

This is not the best group for that question. Right click on the image. Select "Save image as". Decide where to put it. As to Matlab, I can't say. Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
with query,, try to write into some folder IMWRITE()

and later use DIR..function which gives the output in form of
structure and then using  a comparison for

.jpg or .jpeg or .bmp or any..image extension to do

offline processing..

try around..above should help you

Look for the wget program, available from the GNU people. wget http://images.google.com/images?q=mario will write it to your hard disk. I believe you can specify the file name if you don't like the one it chooses. You should be able to run it from inside matlab. -- glen
