Image Processing with (.M File).. Its not the usual ".m file" which MATLAB handles.

I want to work on this file but I cannot open it. Opening the file in notepad shows the following:

ply

format binary_big_endian 1.0

element vertex 129152

property float x

property float y

property float z

element face 247646

property list uchar int vertex_indices

end_header

It is followed by contents which are not readable.

The file is obtained from a 3D scanner. It contains a scanned image in 3D format. Can anyone tell me how to access this image in matlab?
