LIVE video object detection

I found this example in matlab which is used on avi files. % EXAMPLE: Tracking cars hsrc = vision.VideoFileReader('viptraffic.avi', ... 'ImageColorSpace', 'Intensity', ... 'VideoOutputDataType', 'uint8'); hfg = vision.ForegroundDetector(... 'NumTrainingFrames', 5, ... % 5 because of short video 'InitialVariance', 30*30); % initial standard deviation of 30 hblob = vision.BlobAnalysis(... 'CentroidOutputPort', false, 'AreaOutputPort', false, ... 'BoundingBoxOutputPort', true, 'MinimumBlobArea', 250);

    hsnk = vision.VideoPlayer();
    while ~isDone(hsrc)
      frame  = step(hsrc);
      fgMask = step(hfg, frame);
      bbox   = step(hblob, fgMask);
      % draw bounding boxes around cars
      out    = insertShape(frame, 'Rectangle', bbox, 'Color', 'White');
      step(hsnk, out); % view results in the video player
    end
    release(hsnk);
    release(hsrc);

I want it to process this code on LIVE webcam video feed. please suggest a way to achieve this.

You would either need to have the Image Acquisition Toolbox, or MATLAB version R2014a, which includes support for getting video from a webcam in base MATLAB.
