Trouble with MATLAB's 'parfor' loop when handling complex data structures
I can't seem to get I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I need some guidance on I'm running into issues using a `parfor` loop in MATLAB to process elements of a cell array containing complex data structures. Specifically, I'm trying to use a `parfor` loop to iterate through a cell array of images, apply some image processing, and store the results in a new cell array. However, I'm receiving the behavior message: `want to access the variable 'myData' in the parallel pool. The variable is not sliceable.` Here's a snippet of the code I'm using: ```matlab % Assuming myData is a cell array of images myData = {imread('image1.png'), imread('image2.png'), imread('image3.png')}; results = cell(size(myData)); parfor i = 1:numel(myData) % Process each image results{i} = processImage(myData{i}); end ``` The `processImage` function performs various operations, including filtering and edge detection. I have tried a few different approaches, such as preallocating the `results` variable outside the loop and also ensuring that the `myData` variable is defined as a sliced variable, but I keep running into the same scenario. The MATLAB documentation mentions that `parfor` want to access variables that are not sliceable, but I am not clear on how to resolve this. I also checked the dimensions of the images and made sure they are consistent, as suggested in some other threads, but that doesn't seem to be the core scenario here. Can anyone help clarify how to correctly use `parfor` with complex data structures? Is there a workaround to handle this situation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is part of a larger mobile app I'm building. Is there a better approach? My development environment is macOS. Thanks for your help in advance! This issue appeared after updating to Matlab 3.9. Thanks in advance! My development environment is Windows 10. Am I approaching this the right way?
