Hi Shubham,

I understand that you want to convert “.osm” file to a “.mat” file in MATLAB. Currently, MATLAB does not provide a direct functionality to convert the “.osm” file to “.mat” file. You can either directly read the “osm” file using "readgeotable" function or you can externally convert the “osm” file into “geoJSON” format using Python. The “geoJSON” file can be directly converted into a "mat" file as follows:

geojsonStr = fileread('filename.geojson'); 
geojsonData = jsondecode(geojsonStr); 
save('your_mat_file_name.mat', 'geojsonData'); 

You can read more about “readgeotable” here:

For understanding how to open ".osm" files on MATLAB directly, you can refer the following example:

Hope this helps!
