Reading YUV Video Data Using MATLAB with Playback Implementation

This program is designed to read YUV video data using MATLAB and implement video playback capabilities. The implementation involves several key steps: first, we utilize MATLAB's file I/O functions (such as fread or fopen) to read the raw YUV video data from the source file. The YUV format typically stores luminance (Y) and chrominance (U, V) components separately, requiring proper parsing of the data structure based on the specific YUV format (e.g., YUV420, YUV422). Next, we process the read video data by converting the YUV components to RGB color space using color conversion algorithms. This typically involves matrix operations and may use built-in MATLAB functions like ycbcr2rgb or custom conversion matrices. The program handles frame dimensions and aspect ratio calculations to ensure proper video reconstruction. Finally, we implement video playback using MATLAB's image display functions (imshow or image) within a loop structure that controls frame rate timing. The playback mechanism includes controls for frame advancement and may incorporate timing functions (pause or timer objects) to maintain proper video playback speed. Through this program, users can efficiently read and play YUV video data, facilitating better understanding and analysis of video content through practical MATLAB implementation.
