Tested on: Matlab 2012a, Microsoft VS 2010, Win 7 (64 bit), OpenCV 2.4.2
See below.
(1) Install and Compile OpenCV 2.4.2 , then set PATH variables to link to OpenCV DLLs. (how to? see here )
(2) Setup mex compiler in Matlab. Run “mex –setup”, and select VS 2010 compiler form the list.
(3) Check paths in “compile.m”, edit it. Mine looks like so:
include =
' -IE:\OpenCV\install\include\ -IE:\OpenCV\install\include\opencv'
;
libpath =
'E:\OpenCV\install\lib\';
files = dir(fullfile(libpath,'*.lib'));
(4) In TLD source, comment out the following lines in lk.cpp, fern.cpp and bb_overlap.cpp. Otherwise you will get an error.
#ifdef
_CHAR16_T
#define
CHAR16_T
#endif
(5) Run compile.m. If you get include errors, check PATH variables, and make sure “E:\OpenCV\install\bin;” included.
(6) Run run_TLD.m. If you get a 32-bit error, make sure your path ponits to the 64-bit version of OpenCV DLLs.
An example of errors-- “lk.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol…”
BTW1, if you successfully compiled the mex files, but get a error like this:
"??? Unexpected Standard exception from MEX file……error: (-27) create() called for the missing output array in function create”

Please change the line 186 of lk,cpp from
cvCalcOpticalFlowPyrLK( IMG[J], IMG[I], PYR[J], PYR[I], points[1], points[2], nPts, cvSize(win_size,win_size), Level, 0 , 0, cvTermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_ITER|CV_TERMCRIT_EPS,20,0.03), CV_LKFLOW_INITIAL_GUESSES | CV_LKFLOW_PYR_A_READY | CV_LKFLOW_PYR_B_READY );
to
cvCalcOpticalFlowPyrLK( IMG[J], IMG[I], PYR[J], PYR[I], points[1], points[2], nPts, cvSize(win_size,win_size), Level, status , 0, cvTermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_ITER|CV_TERMCRIT_EPS,20,0.03), CV_LKFLOW_INITIAL_GUESSES | CV_LKFLOW_PYR_A_READY | CV_LKFLOW_PYR_B_READY );
BTW2, Some Matlab extensions are needed:
Image Acquisition Toolbox, Image Processing Toolbox, Signal Processing Toolbox, Statistics Toolbox
