vec2mat
Convert DaVis files into MAT files

Description
vec2mat(FILENAME) converts the DaVis images and vector fields matching 
FILENAME into Mat-files, with the same filename but replacing the 
original suffix by '.mat'. All file formats accepted by loadvec are 
accepted (VEC/VC7/IMX/IM7/IMG/TXT/SET).  Wildcards (*) and 
brackets ([]) may be used (see expandstr). The resulting MAT-Files can 
be reloaded using loadvec (e.g., V=loadvec('B00001.mat')), or directly 
using the MATLAB's LOAD function: LOAD('B00001.mat') creates the 
variable V in the workspace. See loadvec for the definition of the 
structure V. 
 
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 VEC files saves time (up to a factor 10). It may also be 
useful to further process the files on platforms other than Windows, 
which can not directly handle DaVis files (but the conversion itself 
must be carried out on a Windows platform, since it uses loadvec and 
the readimx DLL). 
 
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').
