How can I connect Intel Realsense Camera with MATLAB?

I am trying to connect an Intel Realsense Camera (D435i) to MATLAB, but when I try to download the SDK from the Intel GitHub link, it doesn't have the MATLAB wrapper.  Can I use my camera in MATLAB?

The most recent release of the SDK does not have the MATLAB wrapper, but there is still a way to connect your Intel Realsense camera to MATLAB:

1) Install the previous release of the SDK 2.54.1 using the SDK link located at this location:

https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/releases/tag/v2.54.1

2) Install the current release of the SDK 2.56.2 using the SDK link located at this location:

https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/releases/tag/v2.56.2

It looks like when you do the installation in this manner, the older release includes the MATLAB wrappers and then when you install the newer release, it updates other functionality to allow the software to work without removing the MATLAB wrappers that were already installed.  If you install only one of the above, the functions in MATLAB will not work.
