Is it possible to read "raw" image files created using Image Alchemy into MATLAB?

Best Answer

Prior to version 5 of MATLAB, the IMREAD function was capable of reading "raw" image files. The IMREAD function that ships with the current version of MATLAB does not support the "raw" image file format.
We do not have a version of the older file available.
Note that if you plan on attempting to use the older version of this function in the current version of MATLAB, you must first rename the function so that it does not clash with the existing version. Also note that this function has not been tested in this environment.
Another alternative is to use Image Alchemy to convert the "raw" image file to a file format supported by the IMREAD function in the current version of MATLAB. For a list of file formats used by the IMREAD function, type the following at the MATLAB command line:
