This is a very basic importer for OSM files in MATLAB. See demo.m
for usage.
The utiltiy does not extract all the information from these files (notably, relations are missing), but it is good enough if the goal is to get the road graph. On the plus side, it is so simple that it should be easy to customize.
The script
% Load an OSM file as a MATLAB structure MAP
map = loadosm('oxford.osm') ;
% Plot highways, buildings, and other lines
figure(1) ; clf ; hold on ; grid on ;
hw = find([map.ways.isHighway]) ;
bl = find([map.ways.isBuilding]) ;
ot = setdiff(1:numel(map.ways), [hw, bl]) ;
lines=geo2xy(osmgetlines(map, hw)) ; plot(lines(1,:), lines(2,:), 'b-', 'linewidth', 1.5) ;
lines=geo2xy(osmgetlines(map, bl)) ; plot(lines(1,:), lines(2,:), 'g-', 'linewidth', 0.75) ;
lines=geo2xy(osmgetlines(map, ot)) ; plot(lines(1,:), lines(2,:), 'k-', 'linewidth', 0.5) ;
set(gca,'ydir','reverse') ;
xlabel('Web Mercator X') ;
ylabel('Web Mercator Y') ;
legend('highways', 'building', 'other') ; title('OSM in MATLAB') ;
axis equal ; box on ;will produce the MATLAB figure below:
