Kinect project: Working with Matlab 2008a or 2009b

Hello

After a lot of searching on the Internet, some of my questions remain unanswered...(I am a beginner)

I am working on a Kinect project. The goal of the project is amplifying colors on a input video (measuring pulse with Kinect) and adding these colors on the output video. At this moment, I am working with some videos .avi

I got the given code on Internet and I am testing it. I have some questions :

• coding on Matlab 2008a or 2009b can be feasible for the treatment of videos for Kinect?
• Once code done, Matlab 2008a or 2009b can generate it in C++? As the toolbox Matlab Compiler is expensive (so I don't use) , there is a open-source software which could generate the code Matlab to C++?

Thanks

MATLAB Compiler does not generate C or C++; it bundles everything into an executable.

In versions later than you have, MATLAB Coder can be used to generate C or C++ from restricted kinds of MATLAB code. My (possibly incorrect) memory is that video processing is not supported by MATLAB Coder, as video support is very much hardware dependent but MATLAB Coder is for generating code that is hardware independent.
