Taking images in real time

i want to process the images taken from the camera in real time. How can i pass the captured image to my matlab program automatically?

Real time is not well defined for images. You need to say what frame rate you want. Do you want 100 frames per second, 30 frames per second, 5 frames per second? What does "real time" mean to you? What do you require? I think you might be able to get as fast as 5 or 10 frames per second with a small image. A larger camera image size will give slower frame rates. The more complicated the processing you need to do, the slower it will be. What speed (frame rate) do you require?

Hi,

I guess you are looking for the Image Acquisition Toolbox. If you work MATLAB based then its not real-time. It's as fast as it can be aka live. When you really need real-time you can go for code generation and use that on a real-time system later on.
