I have 2 set data acquired from kinect 1- depth image with size 480*640 (uint16) from a scene 2- color image with same size (480*640*3 single) from same scene The question is how can I merge these data together to generate a colored 3D point clouds with PLY format in Matlab. I need to say that unfortunately I don't have an access to kinect anymore and i should use only these data.

The tool is inside the Computer Vision System Toolbox™.
