Try this:
[parentFolder, thisFolder] = fileparts(ImageFolder)
fileListing = dir(parentFolder) % List of everything: folders and files:
% Get a list of only the folders
areAFolder = [fileListing.isdir];
% Extract only those items that are folders, not files;
folderListing = fileListing(areAFolder)
% Just for fun, list all the folders that we found:
fprintf('Found these %d child folders of "%s" :\n', length(folderListing), parentFolder)
for k = 1 : length(folderListing)
	thisFolder = fullfile(folderListing(k).folder, folderListing(k).name);
	fprintf('%s\n', thisFolder);
end
Do not use addpath() ! !
