You could download my FEX submission nextname:
It will return the next unused file/folder name, which you can then simply use with mkdir. Each time you need a new directory simply call it with e.g.:
subd = 'absolute or relative path to where the folders are';
name = nextname(subd,'Image<1>',true);
mkdir(name)

@afiqa yazid: my answer shows you exactly how you need to use it. I recommend that you read the Examples tab on the FEX page too.
