Cool Feature: Video processing demos

Thank you to everyone that answered the survey from my last post. I will be processing the results and reporting in my next post.

Changes are already being planned based on the results.

This three minute video shows you how to view product demos in the Video and Image Processing blockset. Motion detection and tracking is covered in the first demo and photo mosaicking from video is covered in the second.

    Hi Szymon,

    With the Image Acquisition Toolbox, you can acquire images or video into Simulink and/or MATLAB. For Simulink, you would use the “From Video Device” block. This supports USB web cameras, as well as a broad range of frame grabbers and scientific digital cameras. For more information on the supported hardware, look here: http://www.mathworks.com/products/imaq/supportedio.html

    i’m a beginner. I want to read/call video (.avi) file in MATLAB but i couldn’t find any function. how to call the video (.avi) in matlab? how to extract the video frame by frame?

    thanks

    Elya -

    In v7.0, try aviread. This has straightforward syntax for reading a single frame - you could just embed in a for loop if that’s appropriate.

    Readers with newer versions should check out mmreader - introduced on Windows in R2007b, Mac in R2008a.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
