me and my friends are doing an Video and Image processing experiment for which unfortunately we'r having to use MATLAB for WINDOWS..We'd love to do the work on the LINUX platform but unfortunately we are not aware of softwares wich would give us the same degree of control and freedom on the Linux platform..we're aware of Matlab for Linux...considering cost issues we'd like to learn about a more viable option. Any suggestion and guidance will be of great help!!!
Try octave . Long back I had used rlab, which was also good. I dont know the present status of rlab, but you can google for it.
