How to use aryule() in Matlab to extend a number series?

I have a series of numbers. I calculated the "auto-regression" between them using Yule-Walker method. But now how do I extend the series? Whole working is as follows: a) the series I use: 143.85 141.95 141.45 142.30 140.60 140.00 138.40 137.10 138.90 139.85 138.75 139.85 141.30 139.45 140.15 140.80 142.50 143.00 142.35 143.00 142...

How to sort structure arrays in MATLAB?

I'm working with an image retrieval system using color histogram intersection in MATLAB. This method gives me the following data: a real number which represents the histogram intersection distance, and the image file name. Because they are different data types, I store them in structure array with two fields, and then I save this structu...

Can I use Matrix Vision frame grabbers with Matlab?

Hello, I am trying to aquire image using a camera connected to the Matrix Vision frame grabber in Matlab. However, when I type imaqhwinfo, I see the installed adaptors as 'coreco' and 'winvideo'. When I checked the device info, it says that that are no devices installed to the adaptor. The Matrix Vision frame grabber and camera has alrea...

How to abort a running program in MATLAB?

Sometimes after calling a function (which takes some 30 odd minutes to finish), you realize that you did something wrong and want to stop the program. How do you do that in MATLAB? What I do is shutdown MATLAB completely and restart. I think there would be a way to abort the execution of the function instead. Anybody know what that is...

How to use SIFT algorithm to compute how similiar two images are?

I have used the SIFT implementation of Andrea Vedaldi, to calculate the sift descriptors of two similar images (the second image is actually a zoomed in picture of the same object from a different angle). Now I am not able to figure out how to compare the descriptors to tell how similar the images are? I know that this question is not ...

Real-time data in Matlab

I'm trying to get data from a server. Right now, I am polling the server every couple of seconds for the current values. I am wondering if it is possible to have Matlab get the data in real-time or if I am stuck with my current implementation. Has anyone done anything like this? If so, maybe you can tell me how you got started with it. ...

How to plot triangles on a 6x6 grid in MATLAB?

I have a file a.txt which is like: 0 0 0 3 4 3 0 0 3 0 3 4 0 1 0 4 4 4 0 1 3 1 3 5 0 2 0 5 4 5 0 3 0 0 4 0 These are vertices of triangles [x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3] that I need to plot on a 6x6 grid. I need to see these triangles on a single graph. How can this be done in MATLAB? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

Connect points and compute area

Hi everyone, thats my first post, so please be kind. I have a matrix with 3~10 coordinates and I want to connect these points to become a polygone with maximum size. I tried fill() [1] to generate a plot but how do I calculate the area of this plot? Is there a way of converting the plot back to an matrix? What would you reccomend me...

How to call MATLAB code from C?

I have some code that plots triangles in MATLAB. I need to be able to somehow execute this code from my C program which generates these points. Is that possible? How can it be done? Just a thought: Can I somehow embed MATLAB code in C, so that it can compile on a C compiler? ...

Solving a matrix in MATLAB?

How to smoothen a plot in MATLAB?

I have some 9000 points that are plotted on a graph: [Full resolution] Actually, the plot is not as smooth as I wanted it to be. Is there some way I can smoothen the graph to a required degree? Or some form of thresholding so that I can selectively smoothen out the parts that is too bumpy? I am not sure but can fast-fourier-transfo...

How to mark a point in a MATLAB plot?

I have this plot [Full Resolution] I need to make a straight vertical line at a point on x axis that the user enters and show the coordinates of the intersection of that vertical line with my plot. How can this be done in MATLAB? for example: the user enters 1020 then a straight vertical line will be drawn at 1020 that meets the pl...
