Hi Sivakumaran,
A cell datatype is simply a container for other datas. There is a function called cell2mat which will unpack what's in your cell and try to put it in a matrix:
uint8inCell = {uint8(1:4)}
cellContents = cell2mat(uint8inCell)
class(cellContents)
ans =
uint8
It's a little bit like asking "how do I convert a box into a cat?"
Step 1: Put a cat into the box
Step 2: Take the cat out of the box
Does that help clear things up?

Try cell2mat() and see if it complains about the number of rows or columns not matching. If it does complain then you cannot do the conversion.
