Efficient Data Acquisition in MATLAB: Streaming HD Video in Real-Time

The acquisition and processing of a video stream can be very computationally expensive. Typical image processing applications split the work across multiple threads, one acquiring the images, and another one running the actual algorithms. In MATLAB we can get multi-threading by interfacing with other languages, but there is a significant cost associated with exchanging data across the resulting l…

Using MATLAB for hardware-in-the-loop prototyping #1 : Message Passing Systems

MATLAB© is a programming language and environment designed for scientific computing. It is one of the best languages for developing robot control algorithms and is widely used in the research community. While it is often thought of as an offline programming language, there are several ways to interface with it to control robotic hardware 'in the loop'. As part of our own development we surve…
