Remove empty image file in a ImageDatastore

2 views (last 30 days)
I have a folder containing images, some of which are empty JPEG (Zero byte). How can I create a ImageDatastore and skip the null files?
I have tried using ReadFcn to create a custom read function, see below:
function data=readImages(filename)
try % Fetch dimensions of a JPEG, error returned if it is null
dim = infinfo(filename);
data = imread(filename);
catch error
disp('Null data detected') % Problem: need to define data value for this statement
end
end

The problem with the above approach is that it doesn't really skip the null files, since I still need to define what 'data' is.

I understand you want to avoid including any empty jpg files. For reference purposes, could you please attach one of these empty jpg files? It would be helpful to come up with a solution
