Which toolboxes are needed for object detection from video over MATLAB 2009 platform?

I am making the code for the object detection from video over the MATLAB2009 platform. Which toolboxes I will need for the same? Is it necessary to use Simulink?

You may want to look at:

I'm guessing simulink isn't a necessity.

Thanks for response... Is it necessary to use Mapping toolbox along with the toolboxes you mentioned? and if necessary then for which purpose it is most useful?

[Amith Kamath]

I've been working on Image analysis using Matlab for quite a while prior to the introduction of the Mapping toolbox. Unless your application deals with geographic data and maps, I wouldn't think that it's necessary.
