How can I read a cr2 file in MATLAB?

I captured some RAW pictures with a Canon EOS 5D mark ii (14 bit) and I got cr2 files.

I would like to have the matrix containing the pixel values (between 0 and 16383) in MATLAB. How should I proceed?

Thank you!

I gargled on the CR2 format and found a couple of links of interest...no current Matlab code showed up, however.

http://lclevy.free.fr/cr2/ is a pretty detailed description of the format it appears and there's the Canon site drivers download page which would undoubtedly give you something to start from for putting together a mex function.

Seems like most folks recommend using a freeware converter of some sort to get the images into a more widely supported format, though.
