how to use SURFmex library with Matlab?

Question

I want to use SURFmex library with Matlab. I download library from link but don't know where to place this folder and how to include or reference it in Matlab. I am new here and doesn't have so much knowledge of Matlab. Someone please guide me all steps how to add this library and use its function in my code.m file. Thanks in advance.

You can compile it yourself, but the easiest way is to go to https://github.com/PetterS/surfmex/releases and unzip the mexw64 folder. Then everything works if you run startup.m (and possibly install Visual Studio 2013 runtime).

If you are not running Windows 64-bit Matlab you will have to compile OpenCV and then compiler SURFmex yourself.
