processing a large image in matlab

hi,

i am using this script to open ENVI images: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4918-envi-to-matlab/content/freadenvi.m

however, my computer does not have sufficient memory to open the entire image, so i get the error: out of memory.

is there a way to solve this problem? for instance, can the script be somehow modified to read in the image segment by segment so as not to overload the memory?

i am new to matlab, thanks for any help.

The code looks pretty straight forward to me. Maybe not speed optimized, but I see no obvious memory waste. One would need to run it with a smaller ENVI image to identify memory waster. Did you already contact the author? He might be interested to collaborate.

You may need a 64 bit MATLAB on a 64 Bit environment.

yes, i think the issue here is the size of my ENVI images. how can i modify the script to make it open the image, say, 10MB at a time?

no, i have not contacted the author.
