If you mean the matlab toolboxes (eg, image processing toolbox), which are proprietary libraries that you pay like $1k per year to use, no.

Honestly, as someone who wrote matlab professionally for a couple years, the price is a joke, and the performance is jokier. The only reason that matlab still exists is that they use the same marketing tactics as drug dealers- it's free to universities, and super easy to use.
