Reading in a .pcm file?

Hi everyone, I've got a collection of .pcm extension files that are meant to represent the actual optical flow between two synthetic images.
The problem I'm currently having is how do I read them into MATLAB, or display them, so I can compare with my estimates of horizontal and vertical flow calculated by my optical flow algorithms!

The searches I've recently done keep talking about pulse code modulation or wav audio files!

This is meant to be an image or as said on the web image photoline

So any advice for getting a filename.pcm into matlab workstation would be much appreciated

Many Thanks

What is a pcm file ? An uncompressed audio file ? You can use the standard file streams to read any file you like. The real question is, what form do you want the data to take, what's the file format in the file ( it's uncompressed, so it should be feasible to read it and extract the data you need ).
