Or use the python API along with scipy.io.savemat to write out a .mat file.

I have datas in bag file such as velocity and acceleration from the sensors. I want to read data with respect to time domain to make calculations in Matlab. How can I gain the data and use in Matlab? Thanks for your answers.
If you play back the bag, you can use:
rostopic echo -p /topic_name
to display the data in a MatLab-friendly format. You can output this to a text file with:
rostopic echo -p /topic_name > data.txt
Or, you can even convert a topic directly to CSV with:
rostopic echo -b file.bag -p /topic
NOTE: This will only work with simple message types. LaserScans, PointClouds, arrays, etc won't work very well because the entire message is rendered to text.
The other option would be to use the rosbag API, located here to load the data into a C++ program and manipulate it that way.
