imfinfo() - Image Processing

info = imfinfo(filename) returns a structure whose fields contain information about an image in a graphics file, filename.
The format of the file is inferred from its contents.
If filename is a TIFF, HDF, ICO, GIF, or CUR file containing more than one image, then info is a structure array with one element for each image in the file. For example, info(3) would contain information about the third image in the file.
info = imfinfo(filename,fmt) additionally looks for a file named filename.fmt, if MATLAB® cannot find a file named filename.
info = imfinfo(URL) returns information about the image at the specified internet resource, URL.
