function M = opencv_read(filename)

% OPENCV_READ Reads XML-formatted files produced by OpenCV.
%    OPENCV_READ Reads files saved using the "cvSave" function in OpenCV.

%    This functions using the XML_IO_TOOLS by Jaroslaw Tuszynski. The
%    necessary XML_READ function is included in the XML_IO_TOOLS 
%    subdirectory. The complete package of XML functions can be obtained
