MATLAB: Is the MATROX Orion HD Framegrabber supported with Image Acquisition toolbox

Image Acquisition Toolboxmatrox

I would like to use Image Acquisition Toolbox with MATROX Orion HD Framegrabber

Best Answer

Image Acquisition Toolbox R2012b has added support for the MATROX Orion HD board.

For Image Acquisition Toolbox R2012a, an adaptor update has been provided on MATLAB Central. To use the board with the Image acquisition toolbox download the adaptor by following the instructions here:

 <http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/35855-support-for-the-matrox-orion-hd>

For previous releases of Image Acquisition toolbox the MATROX Orion HD Framegrabber is not a supported hardware in the Image Acquisition Toolbox.

MATLAB: Can the Image Acquisition Toolbox directly interface with the Matrox Frame Grabber without need for the Matrox drivers

The Image Acquisition Toolbox requires the Matrox Imaging Library to interface and acquire images from the supported Matrox frame-grabbers.

For a list of supported Matrox frame-grabbers, see the supported hardware section of the Image Acquisition Toolbox product page, found by navigating to:

http://www.mathworks.com/products/imaq/

and clicking on "Supported Hardware".

MATLAB: Is the DCAM (IEEE-1394) FireWire camera not recognized by the Image Acquisition Toolbox

The Image Acquisition Toolbox supports connections to IEEE-1394 (FireWire) DCAM-compliant devices using the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) DCAM driver. If the toolbox does not recognize a DCAM camera connected to your computer, most likely the camera has not been configured to use the CMU DCAM driver.

The supported version of the driver is shipped with MATLAB and can be located in the following directory:

$MATLABROOT\toolbox\imaq\imaqextern\drivers\win32\dcam

(where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing

matlabroot

at the MATLAB Command Prompt.)

Be sure to install the CMU DCAM demo application when you install the CMU DCAM driver. To verify your FireWire camera has been successfully configured to use the CMU DCAM driver, try accessing your camera from the CMU demo application. If the CMU demo application can access your DCAM camera, it has been successfully configured and can be used by the toolbox.

For information on configuring your camera to use the CMU DCAM driver, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the Image Acquisition Toolbox documentation:

Troubleshooting (Image Acquisition Toolbox)

http://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/troubleshooting-1.html

Note the CMU driver strictly adheres to the DCAM specification. The toolbox does not support vendor specific DCAM drivers which frequently offer extensions or modifications to the DCAM specification.
