problem acquiring the video from webcam

hi every one .i am trying to acquire the video frames using the following codes .
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
a = imaqhwinfo;
[camera_name, camera_id, format] = getCameraInfo(a);
vid = videoinput(camera_name, camera_id, format);
% Set the properties of the video object
set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorspace', 'rgb')
vid.FrameGrabInterval = 5;
%start the video aquisition here
start(vid)
while(vid.FramesAcquired<=200)
data = getsnapshot(vid);
end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%the camera info routine is as follows
function [camera_name, camera_id, resolution] = getCameraInfo(a)
camera_name = char(a.InstalledAdaptors(end));
camera_info = imaqhwinfo(camera_name);
camera_id = camera_info.DeviceInfo.DeviceID(end);
resolution = char(camera_info.DeviceInfo.SupportedFormats(end));
%%%%%end of routine %%%
following are the errors i am getting
??? Error using ==> end Incorrect cell or structure reference involving "end". Most likely cause is a reference to multiple elements of a cell or structure followed by additional subscript or structure references.
Error in ==> getCameraInfo at 4 camera_id = camera_info.DeviceInfo.DeviceID(end);
Error in ==> redObjectTrack at 2 [camera_name, camera_id, format] = getCameraInfo(a);
please help me out of this ..Same codes are working for a desktop PC and a webcam..But when i try this on my laptop its not working ..

You can't have a function defined down below your script. I didn't see a function line for the first chunk of your code, which you need. You need something like this as the first line:
function redObjectTrack()
When I do that it runs the getCameraInfo() function fine. All I did was to remove the semicolons so that I could see the outputs, and I renamed format to format1 so as to not overwrite a built-in MATLAB function and it printed out this:
camera_name =
winvideo
camera_info =
AdaptorDllName: 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011b\toolbox\imaq\imaqadaptors\win64\mwwinvideoimaq.dll'
AdaptorDllVersion: '4.2 (R2011b)'
AdaptorName: 'winvideo'
DeviceIDs: {[1]}
DeviceInfo: [1x1 struct]
camera_id =
1
resolution =
RGB24_960x720

(As of R2016b it become possible to put a function below a script, but that was not possible in the 2012 time frame.)

Me don't have any idea with this MATLAB Track coding, so could you share the edited code, that would run successfully please? @Max & @Image Analyst

Put a breakpoint on line 4 of your function getCameraInfo, and explore your variable camera_info. Maybe your laptop isn't recognizing your webcam.

camera_info is a structure array directly or at the DeviceInfo level.

a = imaqhwinfo;
camera_name = char(a.InstalledAdaptors(end));
camera_info = imaqhwinfo(camera_name);
camera_id = camera_info.DeviceInfo.DeviceID(end);
resolution = char(camera_info.DeviceInfo.SupportedFormats(end));
vid = videoinput(camera_name, camera_id, resolution);
set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorspace', 'rgb')
vid.FrameGrabInterval = 5;
start(vid)
change the resolution in image acquired by webcam command.
