Matlab to C or C++

Question

I am working on an image processing project using Matlab. We should run our program (intended to be an application) on a cell phone.We were then asked to convert our code in

Answer 1

The first thing you need to realise is that porting code from one language to another (especially languages as different as Matlab and C++) is generally non-trivial and time-consuming. You need to know both languages well, and you need to have similar facilities available in both. In the case of Matlab and C++, Matlab gives you a lot of stuff that you just won't have available in C++ without using libraries. So the first thing to do is identify which libraries you're going to need to use in C++. (You can write some of the stuff yourself, but you'll be there a long time if you write all of it yourself.)

If you're doing image processing, I highly recommend looking into something like ITK at http://www.itk.org -- I've written my image processing software twice in C++, once without ITK (coding everything myself) and once with, and the version that used ITK was finished faster, performed better and was ten times more fun to work on. FWIW.
