Image Processing & Simulink Course
Why should we use MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory)?
MATLAB has several advantages over other methods or languages:
- Its basic data element
is the matrix. A simple integer is considered an matrix of one row and one
column. Several mathematical
operations that work on arrays or matrices are built-in to the Matlab
environment. For example, cross-products, dot-products, determinants,
inverse matrices.
- Vectorized operations.
Adding two arrays together needs only one command, instead of a for or
while loop.
- The graphical output is
optimized for interaction. You can plot your data very easily, and then
change colors, sizes, scales, etc, by using the graphical interactive
tools.
- Matlab’s functionality
can be greatly expanded by the addition of toolboxes. These are sets of
specific functions that provided more specialized functionality. Ex: Excel
link allows data to be written in a format recognized by Excel, Statistics
Toolbox allows more specialized statistical manipulation of data (Anova,
Basic Fits, etc)
USING
MATLAB
Matlab
in not only a programming language, but a programming environment as well.
You
can perform operations from the command line, as a sophisticated calculator.
Or
you can create programs and functions that perform repetitive tasks, just as
any other computer language.
