How can I project 2D coordinates on 3D mesh?

Is there a way to project 2D coordinates on a 3D mesh in MatLab? I’m taking some pictures of a 3D mesh with MATLAB’s built-in camera and I’m doing some treatments that result in 2D coordinates which I want to project on my 3D mesh (and get 3D coordinates). Is there a way to do it in MATLAB?
