How can I convert an image from a thermal camera in jpg format to .csv format of the same image on MATLAB?

I was earlier taking thermal images from a camera and converting them manually using the thermal camera PC application(FLIR Tools) into .csv files and using them for processing the image in my program. Now i want to automate the process and just want to use the images from the camera to be used in my program directly, my program is designed such that it works on images in matrix form only. So please share any command or method which can be used to convert thermal images into .csv directly using command or a small MATLAB script.

What does that actually mean? Using the standard image loading function imread to load your image will create a matrix. In matlab, image and matrices are the same thing.

Converting an efficient storage format (binary jpeg) into a slow to read and write format (text) sounds like a big waste of time.
