I wrote a code for image acquisition,when i get a live video using ' videoinput' function i get clear live video. but when i use getsnapshot function to get captured image from live video, i dont get clear image. plz give me solution of this. thank you.
imaqhwinfo
info = imaqhwinfo('coreco')
info.DeviceInfo
%dev_info = imaqhwinfo('demo',info.DeviceInfo.DeviceID);
vid=videoinput('winvideo',1,'YUY2_640x480');
preview(vid)
frame = getsnapshot(vid);
image(frame);
delete(vid);

Your image snapshot is in YUY2 format. What you need to do is convert your YUY2 image to RGB. You can find one on file exchange section.

If that's the problem there should be a rgb mode that shows up in the winvideo category of the hardware browser when he runs imaqtool. He should pick one of the RGB modes.

Define "clear". It should look fairly similar but maybe noisier. A single snapshot will always appear noisier than a video stream. Also be aware that some cameras have two different sets of settings, one for video mode and one for snapshot mode. You could be adjusting the camera to look good under video but then when you switch to snapshot mode, it's using a different set of settings. This could be what's happening if it's more than simply a noisier image. Consult Coreco for how their cameras work. Also, you might want to use the Coreco driver built for their camera, if they have one, rather than the generic winvideo driver.
