Processing live video feed with Computer Vision Package

Hi,

I am looking to process a live video stream using MATLAB's computer vision library. The program I am running is currently using the vison.VideoFileReader() function to read from a .avi file.

I am hoping to change the the program to read from a live video feed from a USB webcam. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar or has any advice on how I might go about implementing this.

Thanks,

Chuck

Absolutely. If you have Image Acquisition Toolbox, you can do this with imaq.VideoDevice. If you're on a Windows computer, the 'winvideo' adaptor name will let you do this.

Once you have your frame, the same code you had for your .avi file will hold.

Alternatively, if you have a recent version of MATLAB you can use the Webcam Support Package.
