Acquire images and video from industry-standard hardware.
Image Acquisition Toolbox provides functions and blocks for connecting cameras to MatLAB and Simulink. It includes a MatLAB app that lets you interactively detect and configure hardware properties. You can then generate equivalent MatLAB code to automate your acquisition in future sessions. The toolbox enables acquisition modes such as processing in-the-loop, hardware triggering, background acquisition, and synchronizing acquisition across multiple devices.
Image Acquisition Toolbox supports all major standards and hardware vendors, including USB3 Vision, GigE Vision, and GenICam GenTL. You can connect to machine vision cameras and frame grabbers, as well as high-end scientific and industrial devices.
The Image Acquisition Toolbox software implements an object-oriented approach to image acquisition. Using toolbox functions, you create an object that represents the connection between MatLAB and specific image acquisition devices. Using properties of the object you can control various aspects of the acquisition process, such as the amount of video data you want to capture. Once you establish a connection to a device, you can acquire image data by executing a trigger. In the toolbox, all image acquisition is initiated by a trigger. The toolbox supports several types of triggers that let you control when an acquisition takes place. For example, using hardware triggers you can synchronize an acquisition with an external device.
