Now that you are acquainted with the processes of importing videos in MATLAB and creating new ones from still images, it is time we explore another aspect of MATLAB video processing, which is video acquisition. In this chapter, we will learn how you can use MATLAB to acquire videos, or sequences of images, which are saved on your computer rather than the storage of the camera. Furthermore, we will learn about the storage space problems faced everyday by video processing professionals and discuss compression issues and tricks, so that we mitigate this problem. Finally, some difficulties of real-time video processing in MATLAB will be presented and explained. Various tips on speeding up such processes will also be given. While learning all these, we will investigate hands-on examples that will help you comprehend various implementation techniques.
In this chapter, we will cover:
