Compile Computer Vision Toolbox function for Python using Matlab Compiler SDK/Engine API

I have written substantial code in MATLAB using the Computer Vision Toolbox and I would like to convert the code to Python or import this code as a library using something like

import matlab.engine

in Python through 'MATLAB Engine API for Python' functionality. The specific function I am looking to convert is

pcfitplane()

from CV Toolbox but I presume the approach will apply to any future modules I wish to import.

I have tried the basic

matlab.engine()

commands in Python and they work fine but cannot find anything for CVT functions. Any help is appreciated.

You were doing the right thing. You have to create MATLAB engine object and then use the engine object to all function from MATLAB.

For example:

import matlab.engine

eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()

ret = eng.sqrt(4.0) # use whatever function instead of sqrt(4.0)

print(ret)

But how to import/call CV toolbox functions using the matlab engine. I tried but there's no drop-down showing the functions and if I call it anyway it says "not found".

have you tried manually adding the path to the toolbox functions? Like:

eng.addpath( "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018b\toolbox\shared\optimlib" );
