Image processing is mainly focused on the processing of raw images and making them ready for other tasks such as computer vision.

Computer vision, on the other hand, looks at images like the human eye. It involves understanding and predicting the visual output. Algorithm building is vital for image processing and computer vision. Uses of Matlab provides a comprehensive environment to analyze images and build algorithms.

Internet of Things is the network of devices, vehicles and home appliances and others embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables the exchange of data.

Mechatronics is the technology combining electronics and mechanical engineering. Mechatronic systems require integrating mechanical, electrical, control, and embedded software subsystems. Uses of Matlab allows you to design and simulate all of this in a single environment.

Testing and Measurement is the process in which electronic products are subjected to a range of tests starting from physical tests to identify any physical defects to product level functional testing. Matlab provides tools that you need to acquire and automate tasks. Once you acquire data, you can explore it and perform live visualization and data analysis. Computational biology is the study of biological data for better understanding of biological systems and relationships.

Computational finance on the other is the computer science study of financial data and financial modeling. Matlab helps by solving ordinary differential equations that model biological behavior.

Also, the Matlab computational finance suite enables you to develop quantitative applications for risk management, investment management, insurance, and econometrics. Robotics is an interdisciplinary field of science and engineering. It involves mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science to name a few to create robots or human-like machines. Robotics researchers and engineers use MATLAB to design and tune algorithms, model real-world systems, and automatically generate code — all from one software environment.

Everything about MATLAB is designed specifically for engineers and scientists: Function names and signatures are familiar and memorable, making them as easy to write as they are to read.

The same is true for data analytics, signal and image processing, control design, and other applications. New function interfaces undergo a rigorous design process that typically involves dozens to hundreds of developer-hours per function. The desktop environment is tuned for iterative engineering and scientific workflows. Integrated tools support simultaneous exploration of data and programs, letting you explore more ideas in less time. Documentation is written for engineers and scientists, not computer scientists.
