vec2mat
Convert DaVis files into MAT files

Description

vec2mat(FILENAME) converts the DaVis images and vector fields matching 
FILENAME into Mat-files, which may be re-used under systems without 
the ReadIMX package. The output filenames are given by the input 
filenames, except that the original suffix is replaced by '.mat'. All 
file formats accepted by loadvec are accepted (VEC/VC7/IMX/IM7/IMG/TXT 
/SET).  Wildcards (*) and brackets ([]) may be used (see rdir). 
 
The resulting MAT-Files can be reloaded using loadvec, using 
   V = loadvec('B00001.mat')) 
or directly using the MATLAB's LOAD function: 
   LOAD('B00001.mat') 
(this syntax creates the variable V in the current workspace). 
See loadvec for the definition of the structure V. 
 
vec2mat(FILENAME, DEST) converts the files to destination folder DEST. 
By default, the current directory is used as destination. 
 
vec2mat(FILENAME, DEST, 'verbose') also displays the work in progres. 
 
vec2mat, without input argument, converts all the DaVis files of the 
current directory into MAT files. 
 
Reloading MAT-Files converted by vec2mat instead of loading the 
original DaVis files saves time (up to a factor 10). It may also be 
useful to further process the files on platforms which do not support 
the ReadIMX package. 
 

Example

 
  vec2mat('dir*/*.vec') converts all the vec files in the directories 
  matching 'dir*' into MAT-files. These files may be further loaded 
  using v=loadvec('dir*/*.mat'). 
 
  vec2mat('B[1:100].vc7', 'Z:/MyResults/', 'verbose')
