The vMAT library implements a grab-bag of mathematical functions inspired by MATLAB¹.

This library is being developed as part of a facial recognition project. As such, it contains a small (but growing) set of matrix functions and related utilities which that project happens to use. The project is still in an early, pre-release state right now, but stay tuned...

For an idea of what is to come, have a look at the first draft of The vMAT Manifesto.

matxd is a command-line tool for exploring the layout of the binary .mat file format of MATLAB. It's still in development right now, and not terribly useful for anything beyond validating the .mat reading code in the vMAT library (which is also a work-in-progress).
