Many of my best friends at MathWorks speak Spanish as their first language and we have a large community of Spanish-speaking users. You can see good evidence of this by checking out our relatively new Spanish YouTube channel which recently crossed the 10,000 subscriber mark
I've always used MATLAB with other languages. In the early days, C and C++ via mex files were the most common ways I spliced two languages together. Other than that I've also used MATLAB with Java, Excel and even Fortran.
In more recent years, Python is the language I tend to use most alongside MATLAB and support for this combination is steadily improving. In my latest blog post, I show how easy it has become to use Python's Numpy with MATLAB.
Have you used this functionality much? If so, what for? How well did it work for you?
I am inspired by the latest video from YouTube science content creator Veritasium on his distinct yet thorough explanation on how rainbows work. In his video, he set up a glass sphere experiment representing how light rays would travel inside a raindrop that ultimately forms the rainbow. I highly recommend checking it out.
In the meantime, I created an interactive MATLAB App in MATLAB Online using App Designer to visualize the light paths going through a spherical raindrop with numerical calculations along the way. While I've seen many diagrams out there showing the light paths, I haven't found any doing calculations in each step. Hence I created an app in MATLAB to show the calculations along with the visualizations as one varies the position of the incoming light ray.
Demo video:
For more information about the app and how to open it and play around with it in MATLAB Online, please check out my blog article:

I wish I knew more about the intended evolution of the capabilities of the function arguments block. I love implementing function syntaxes using this relatively new form, but it doesn't yet handle some function syntax design patterns that I think are valuable and worth keeping.
For example, some functions take an input quantity that can something numeric, or it can be an option string that descriptively names a particular value of that quantity. One example is dateshift(t,"dayofweek",dow), where dow can be an integer from 1 to 7, or it can be one of the option strings "weekday" or "weekend".
Another example is Image Processing Toolbox that take a connectivity specifier as input. The function bwconncomp is one particular case. Connectivity can be specified using certain scalars, certain arrays, or the option string "maximal".
I think this is a worthwhile function design pattern, but I don't think the arguments block validation functionality supports it well (unless you use a lot of extra code that duplicates standard MATLAB behavior, which undermines the value of the arguments block).
MathWorkers - believe me, I know that it is not in your DNA to discuss future features. But would anyone care to offer a hint about directions for the arguments block functionality?
I am very excited to share my new book "Data-driven method for dynamic systems" available through SIAM publishing: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/1.9781611978162
This book brings together modern computational tools to provide an accurate understanding of dynamic data. The techniques build on pencil-and-paper mathematical techniques that go back decades and sometimes even centuries. The result is an introduction to state-of-the-art methods that complement, rather than replace, traditional analysis of time-dependent systems. One can find methods in this book that are not found in other books, as well as methods developed exclusively for the book itself. I also provide an example-driven exploration that is (hopefully) appealing to graduate students and researchers who are new to the subject.
Each and every example for the book can be reproduced using the code at this repo: https://github.com/jbramburger/DataDrivenDynSyst
Hope you like it!

You can make a lot of interesting objects with matlab primitive shapes (e.g. "cylinder," "sphere," "ellipsoid") by beginning with some of the built-in Matlab primitives and simply applying deformations. The gif above demonstrates how the Manta animation was created using a cylinder as the primitive and successively applying deformations: (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/communitycontests/contests/8/entries/16252);
Similarly, last year a sphere was deformed to create a face in two of my submissions, for example, the profile in "waking":
You can piece-wise assemble images, but one of the advantages of creating objects with deformations is that you have a parametric representation of the surface. Creating a higher or lower polygon rendering of the surface is as simple as declaring the number of faces in the orignal primitive. For example here is the scene in "snowfall" using sphere with different numbers of input faces:
sphere(100)
sphere(500)
High poly models aren't always better. Low-polygon shapes can sometimes add a little distance from that low point in the uncanny valley.
Next week is MATLAB EXPO week and it will be the first one that I'm presenting at! I'll be giving two presentations, both of which are related to the intersection of MATLAB and open source software.
- Open Source Software and MATLAB: Principles, Practices, and Python Along with MathWorks' Heather Gorr. We we discuss three different types of open source software with repsect to their relationship to MATLAB
- The CLASSIX Story: Developing the Same Algorithm in MATLAB and Python Simultaneously A collaboration with Prof. Stefan Guettel from University of Manchester. Developing his clustering algorithm, CLASSIX, in both Python and MATLAB simulatenously helped provide insights that made the final code better than if just one language was used.
There are a ton of other great talks too. Come join us! (It's free!) MATLAB EXPO 2024
Hi MATLAB Central community! 👋
I’m currently working on a project where I’m integrating MATLAB analytics into a mobile app, mainly to handle data-heavy tasks like processing sensor data and running predictive models. The app is built for Android, and while it’s not entirely MATLAB-based, I use MATLAB for a lot of data preprocessing and model training.
I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else here has experience with using MATLAB for similar mobile or embedded applications. Here are a few areas I’m focusing on:1. Optimizing MATLAB Code for Mobile Compatibility
I’ve found that some MATLAB functions work perfectly on desktop but may run slower or encounter limitations on mobile. I’ve tried using code generation and reducing function calls where possible, but I’m curious if anyone has other tips for optimizing MATLAB code for mobile environments?
2. Using MATLAB for Sensor Data Processing
I’m working with accelerometer and GPS data, and MATLAB has been great for preprocessing. However, I wonder if anyone has suggestions for handling large sensor datasets efficiently in MATLAB, especially if you've managed data in mobile contexts?
3. Integrating MATLAB Models into Mobile Apps
I’ve heard about using MATLAB Compiler SDK to integrate MATLAB algorithms into other environments. For those who have done this, what’s the best way to maintain performance without excessive computational strain on the device?
4. Data Visualization Tips
Has anyone had experience with mobile-friendly data visualizations using MATLAB? I’ve been using basic plots, but I’d love to know if there are any resources or toolboxes that make it easier to create lightweight, interactive visuals for mobile.
If anyone here has tips, tools, or experiences with MATLAB in mobile development, I’d love to hear them! Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!
My favorite image processing book is The Image Processing Handbook by John Russ. It shows a wide variety of examples of algorithms from a wide variety of image sources and techniques. It's light on math so it's easy to read. You can find both hardcover and eBooks on Amazon.com Image Processing Handbook
There is also a Book by Steve Eddins, former leader of the image processing team at Mathworks. Has MATLAB code with it. Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB

Mini Hack is brilliant！Let's use MATLAB to create the future!
Pumpkins have been a popular, recurring, and ever-evolving theme in MATLAB during the past few years, and particularly during this time of year. Much of this is driven by the epic work of @Eric Ludlam and expanded upon by many others. The list of material is too extensive to go through everything individually, but I'm listing some of my favourite resources below and I highly recommend these to everyone as they're a lot of fun to play with:
Pumpkins are also particularly prominent during the yearly Mini Hack Contests. This year, I have jumped onto the bandwagon myself with my Floating Pumpkins entry:
In this post, I would like to introduce the concept of masking 3D surfaces in a festive and fun way, by showcasing how to apply it for carving faces on pumpkins step by step.
Let's start by drawing the pumpkin's body. The following was adapted from Eric's code:
n = 600; % Number of faces
% Shape pumpkin's rind (skin)
[X,Y,Z] = sphere(n);
% Shape pumpkin's ribs (ridges)
R = (1-(1-mod(0:20/n:20,2)).^2/12);
X = X.*R; Y = Y.*R; Z = Z.*R;
Z = (.8+(0-linspace(1,-1,n+1)'.^4)*.3).*Z;
function plotPumpkin(X,Y,Z)
figure
surf(X,Y,Z,'FaceColor',[1 .4 .1],'EdgeColor','none');
hold on
box on
axis([-1 1 -1 1 -1 1],'square')
xlabel('x'); xticks(-1:0.5:1)
ylabel('y'); yticks(-1:0.5:1)
zlabel('z'); zticks(-1:0.5:1)
material([.45,.7,.25])
camlight('headlight')
camlight('headlight')
lighting gouraud
end
plotPumpkin(X,Y,Z)
The next step is drawing the face for the mask. This can be done in 2D and can consist of any number of lines that form polygonal closed shapes and are appropriately scaled relative to the coordinates of the pumpkin. A quick example:
% Mouth
xm = [-.5:.1:.5 flip(-.5:.1:.5)];
ym = [.15 -.3 -.25 -.5 -.4 -.6 flip([.15 -.3 -.25 -.5 -.4]) .15 -.05 0 -.25 -.15 -.3 flip([.15 -.05 0 -.25 -.15])];
% Right eye
xr = [-.35 -.05 -.35];
yr = [.1 0 .5];
% Left eye
xl = abs(xr);
yl = yr;
figure('Color','w')
set(gcf,'Position',get(gcf,'Position')/2)
axes('Visible','off','NextPlot','Add')
axis tight square
fill(xm,ym,'k')
fill(xr,yr,'k')
fill(xl,yl,'k')
We then need to apply the 2D mask to the 3D surface. To do that, we project it onto the intersections of the surface with the XY plane. However, as we need the face to appear on the side of the pumpkin, we first need to rotate the pumpkin so that the front side is facing upwards. Essentially, we need to rotate the pumpkin around the x-axis by -π/2 rad.
Let's do this from first principles to better understand the process:
theta = [-pi/2,0,0];
[X,Y,Z] = xyzRotate(X,Y,Z,theta);
function [X,Y,Z] = xyzRotate(X,Y,Z,theta)
% Rotation matrices
Rx = [1 0 0;0 cos(theta(1)) -sin(theta(1));0 sin(theta(1)) cos(theta(1))];
Ry = [cos(theta(2)) 0 sin(theta(2));0 1 0;-sin(theta(2)) 0 cos(theta(2))];
Rz = [cos(theta(3)) -sin(theta(3)) 0;sin(theta(3)) cos(theta(3)) 0;0 0 1];
for i=1:size(X,1)
for j=1:size(X,2)
r=Rx*Ry*Rz*[X(i,j);Y(i,j);Z(i,j)];
X(i,j)=r(1);
Y(i,j)=r(2);
Z(i,j)=r(3);
end
end
end
More information about these transformations can be found here:
When plotting we get:
plotPumpkin(X,Y,Z)
Note that as we have only rotated this around the x-axis, Ry and Rz are equal to eye(3).
We can now apply the mask as discussed. We do this by using one of my favourite functions inpolygon. This gives us the corresponding indices of all the data points located inside our polygonal regions. At this stage, it's important to keep the following in mind:
- The number of faces (n) controls the discretization of the pumpkin. The larger it is, the smoother the mask will be, but at the same time the computational cost will also increase. If you are using this for the contest which has a timeout limit of 235 seconds, you might need to adjust it accordingly.
- You will also need to restrict the Z-coordinates appropriately (Z>=0) so that the mask is only applied on the front side of the pumpkin.
- If you are animating the face mask (more information about this below), and you need the eyes and mouth to fully close at any point, avoid using the second argument of the inpolygon function that gives you the points located on the edge of the regions.
The masking function is given below:
function [X,Y,Z] = Mask(X,Y,Z,xm,ym,xr,yr,xl,yl)
mask = ones(size(Z));
mask((inpolygon(X,Y,xm,ym)|inpolygon(X,Y,xr,yr)|inpolygon(X,Y,xl,yl))&Z>=0) = NaN;
Z = Z.*mask;
end
Applying the mask gives us:
[X,Y,Z]=Mask(X,Y,Z,xm,ym,xr,yr,xl,yl);
plotPumpkin(X,Y,Z)
arrayfun(@(x)light('style','local','position',[0 0 0],'color','y'),1:2)
We can see that MATLAB was thoughtful enough to automatically remove the pulp from inside the pumpkin, proving its convenience time and time again.
We can then rotate the pumpkin back and add the stem to get the final result:
theta = [pi/2,0,0];
[X,Y,Z] = xyzRotate(X,Y,Z,theta);
% Stem
s = [1.5 1 repelem(.7, 6)] .* [repmat([.1 .06],1,round(n/20)) .1]';
[t,p] = meshgrid(0:pi/15:pi/2,linspace(0,pi,round(n/10)+1));
Xs = repmat(-(.4-cos(p).*s).*cos(t)+.4,2,1);
Ys = [-sin(p).*s;sin(p).*s];
Zs = repmat((.5-cos(p).*s).*sin(t)+.55,2,1);
plotPumpkin(X,Y,Z)
arrayfun(@(x)light('style','local','position',[0 0 0],'color','y'),1:2)
surf(Xs,Ys,Zs,'FaceColor','#008000','EdgeColor','none');
And that's it. You can now add some change to the mask's coordinates between frames and play around with the lighting to get results such as these (more information on how to do this on my Teaser entry):
I hope you have found this tutorial useful, and I'm looking forward to seeing many more creative entries during the final week of the contest.
