Here's a quick tip. A user question came in recently that involved a step of finding the pixels adjacent to foreground pixels in a binary image. Suppose you have a binary mask image,... read more >>

MathWorks developer Dave L. created an Intruder Detection example to demonstrate how Image Acquisition Toolbox and Data Acquisition Toolbox can work together. The program displays live video and... read more >>
