does anyone have idea to create image databases in matlab?

i need to create an iris image database.where each image has its corresponding parameters stored like name,age, etc. when i input an image it should match the image in database and output the parameters... any idea on how to start?

Why not just store the images as separate files in a folder, and all their data in a .mat file. Do you really need an official database (like Oracle or whatever)?

no... just collection of iris images.. can i do using if else?

You can certainly use if/else to check the values of image measurements and take an action that depends on the value of the feature for the image being tested/queried.

Since you are thinking "database", you can still design your program to act like it's calling a database and getting a list of results, even if you do it as suggested using a mat file and a collection of files, which sounds sufficient for now. If this program is going to grow to service a larger collection, at some point you'll likely benefit from using a database, and if you design it right, you'll just need to replace your simple implementation with the actual calls to the database.

Of course, if this is a project that will be entirely complete at the end and not grow into something more, then you just stick with the easy implemtnation, get it done, and move on, and not add extra levels of complexity when they are not strictly required. Nothing at all wrong with that.

If the time comes, there is a "Database Toolbox" though I've never tried it.
