python - import tensor with mat format to tensorflow

Question

I am new in tensorflow and Python. I have an image data set in Matlab in a tensor with size : 96*96*5000 (image size , number of images) and I need to import it to Tensorflow. I looked at the Tensorflow tutorial, which says I should use TFRecords or CSV formats but I think this means that I save each image separately in csv format. Is there any way to directly import my tensor to tensorflow?

As Olivier said in his comment, the easiest solution is to convert the data into a Numpy array, and use TensorFlow's feeding mechanism to pass the data into your TensorFlow model.

The scipy.io.loadmat() function in SciPy can be used to load a Matlab .mat file into Python, as a dictionary mapping Matlab matrix names (as strings) to Numpy arrays.
