Description

The Video Capture Interface block simulates the behavior of a video input device. The block emits the captured image in message for a connected Video Capture block that can be used in an algorithm. The block can also emit an event that, when connected a Task Manager block, can trigger a task containing the Video Capture block.

Ports

Input

expand all

Specify a 3MN-length vector as the unwrapped images matrices.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Input parameter to From input port.

Data Types: uint8

Output

expand all

This port sends a message at each new image event. This output connects to the input of the Task Manager block to execute the associated event-driven task after receiving the new image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Show event port parameter.

Data Types: rteEvent

This port outputs data messages containing image data to a connected Video Capture block.

Data Types: SoCData

Parameters

expand all

Specify the source of the simulated image data.

Specify the simulated image as a vector. The vector gets transformed into three M-by-N matrices representing the color channels of the image source.

Specify the video source as a timeseries object in the MATLAB® workspace.

Enter the sample time defining the rate at which to output the message containing video data.

Select this parameter to enable an event port that, when connected to the Task Manager block, can execute event-driven tasks.
