Introduction to MATLAB
 MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory):
 A Data analysis tool
 A Prototyping tool
 A Visualization tool
 Has built-in support for matrices (basic data type) and matrix operations
 Has excellent graphics capabilities
 Is a high-level programming language and development environment.
 Has extensive built-in documentation
 Excellent Help with Examples
 Demos

 Many toolboxes (including the Image Processing Toolbox – see


Chapter 4).
 “Hands on”
 Try Tutorial 3.1: MATLAB - a guided tour on page 44.

Introduction to MATLAB
 MATLAB algorithm development environment provides:
 Command line interface
 An interpreter
 Matlab acts as an interpreter b/w user code and computer hardware
 It interprets commands, which shortens programming time by
eliminating the
 need for compilation.
 Extremely convenient when goal is rapid algorithm prototyping
 Once algo. is stable, it can be compiled with MATCOM for faster execution,
which is particularly important for large data sets.
 An extensive set of (numerical and string manipulations) functions
 2D and 3D plotting functions
 Ability to build GUI

M-files: scripts and functions
 Command Line operation  Executing one line at a time
 M-files in MATLAB can be:
 scripts that simply execute a series of MATLAB commands or
statements; or
 functions that can accept arguments (parameters) and produce one or
more output values.

 Scripts
 An M-file containing a script consists of a sequence of commands to be
interpreted and executed.
 M-files are syntax color coded to aid in reading them.
 In addition to calls to built-in functions, scripts may also contain variable
declarations, calls to user-created functions, decision statements and
repetition loops.
 Scripts are usually created using a text editor and stored with a
meaningful name and the .m extension.

M-files: scripts
 Scripts
 Once a script has been created and saved, it can be invoked
from the command line simply by typing its name.
 Or F5 / F9 function keys for full and partial execution.
 The Cell Mode: A new editing mode allows you to make
minor adjustments to variables, and re-execute a block of
code easily.
 Cell blocks allow you to modify and execute one block of code at a time.
 To create a cell block, all you need to do is give it a block title (using %%).
 More than one cell block can exist in a single script.
 Example: script3_3_2.m.
