How to train a neural network using multiple bmp images as input using the nntool

Hie,I am new to MATLAB and I am supposed to develop an license plate recognition system with optical character recognition using MATLAB. My challenges are i.) to import all the images, 36 of them, in BMP format to workspace so that I use them as input when training my neural network ii.) what do I use as my target in the neural network as I would already used the images as input because I need to have a target and I don't understand what is needed there?

Target columns should be columns of the 36-dimensional unit matrix eye(36).
