How can I convert MATLAB image processing codes into C codes to load them in microcontroller? Actually it is a part of my Final year project so please help

Actually I am doing a project of image processing using MATLAB whose output is to be displayed by using microcontroller . So in order to load HEX file on controller, I need to convert the MATLAB code to C .So please help....

Hi,

basically MATLAB Coder is designed for that task. However only a limited subset of functions and language feature are supported for code generation:

So it might be that you need to rewrite/redesign certain parts of your code. Maybe also implement some toolbox functions your self.

Yes, only some limited functions in the Image Processing Toolbox such as connectivity calculations are supported for code generation; anything else would have to be recoded.

Hi thanks for your reply,can u please tell me how can we give output of a MATLAB program to the RS232 or a USB port of a PC? Actually I want to connect my microcontroller to the program anyhow.

The easiest way is that you should skip the use of the micro-controller altogether. Use one of the output ports of your system to transfer processed data directly to your system. This basically means that instead of using the micro-controller to receive - process and transmit you should receive the data into your computer use matlab code on teh computer to process and send the processed data in a serial/parallel way (depending on your system) to the ports to which you have a circuit connected to power/control the actuators/or whatever it is that you are controlling.

I know this post is quite old - but if you need help with that - just drop me a message and I will help you out with developing IO-OBJECTS in the matlab environment.

Good Luck.

Hi Ashar, I have a Matlab code written for image processing, it involves edge detection, hough transform and some enhancement techniques, I want to implement this code in hardware.Please help me in this regard. Thank you.
