Also Is it possible to store all these images to a particular location and get all these image from a given location and compare that with real time application.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that, yes, you can do what you're asking... but it's not an "out of the box" functionality.  For what you're asking, you're going to need to write some of your own code to save the files in order to update the baselines and then utilize those saved files in running your tests.  So, I envision a function that would look something like this:

function imageComparison(testObject, filePath, fileName) {
    //Create a project variable called updateBaseline and make it boolean. 
    //When you want to update your baselines, set it to true
    var pictureBaseline = Utils.Picture();
    if (Project.Variables.updateBaseline) {
        testObject.Picture().SaveToFile(filePath + fileName);
    }
    else {
        pictureBaseline.LoadFromFile(filePath + fileName);
        pictureBaseline.Compare(testObject.Picture())
    }
}

So, instead of using the built in Regions.Compare or Regions.Check, you would use the above method.  If the project variable is set to true, your baseline files will be updated... if it's set to false, you'll do the comparison.
