Here I present a matlab script which takes advantage of the URL2File software available at www.chami.com and Matlab's image functions to download and save all images returned by a google image search. The scripts is available in the downloads section: Matlab scripts
Just put the m file in the same directory as URL2File.exe and run the script in Matlab. A cell array of names must be created as an input:
Names{1,1}="Tony_Blair";
Names{1,2}="Thierry_Henry";
...
Names{1,n}="Another_Name";
Notice that spaces are replaced by underscores.
Then simply run:
downloadimagesfromgoogle(Names,1,n);
where n is the length of the array of names, and all images on google for all names in the list will be downloaded to a folder called 'images' in subfolders for each name. The images will all be in png format. This script was developed as part of a program to download images from google, extract faces and build a database of face images. I will discuss this further in forthcoming articles.
Google stores up to 1000 results for each search string, so up to 1000 images for each phrase could be downloaded. For example, as I write this 783 images have been downloaded for Thierry Henry .
The script can handle images which are no longer available and will download the images as fast as your connection allows. The full size images are downloaded, not just the thumbnails. This means things can slow down a little on really large images.
