Simscape Mechanics Explore camera and image processing.

I was wondering if there is a way to do some basic real time image processing of the mechanics explorer output?

I am trying to track a simple moving sphere and use the data to comand my robot to track it. I am aware that you can use the camera manager to create a dynamic camera, but I am unsure if I can analyze the camera feed in real time? Is there perhaps another toolbox or block I can use in simulink to do this?

Were you able to find the solution to this Problem?

Through release R2021a, the image presented in the Mechanics Explorer cannot be fed during a simulation to an image processing algorithm via a Simulink signal. You could save the animation from the Mechanics explorer to a video file and then in a separate run feed those video images to your algorithm.

Hello, I just wanted to confirm if this is still the case in release R2022b ?
