Is it possible to run MATLAB image processing program on a raspberry pi 3 without it being connected to the host computer?

This is our first time using Raspberry Pi 3 and it seems that MATLAB is not as compatible with the pi when compared to using JAVA. We are having troubles getting a simple MATLAB code to run on the pi without it being directly connected to the host computer that has the program on it. Is there a way to get the MATLAB program to run by itself when the pi starts?

Yes, it is possible. See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/112443-build-standalone-application-running-in-raspberry-pi

Note: you might need R2016b for support of your Raspberry Pi 3.

Thanks for the link. But our team is not actually using Simulink model. What we are going to use is the pi camera and the matlab image processing tools. Is there a way of doing that?

The known way to do that is to create a Simulink model that calls upon the MATLAB code, and then generate for Raspberry Pi target; see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/246147-how-to-flash-m-file-to-raspberry-pi-making-it-standalone-system-using-matlab-support-package-for

I have no information about the steps that would be necessary to tell MATLAB Coder to target Raspberry Pi. Mathwork's words on this are http://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/raspberry-pi-matlab.html
