Image Aquisition

Three VC++ MEX projects enabling simple access to any VfW-source (with multiple cam support).

Description

(1) Actualized VFM project
=> Video for Matlab, solution using direct VfW access

(2) OCVGRAB
=> solution using OpenCV grabbing routines (potentially plattform independent)

(3) VIGRAB
=> solution using VideoInput library routines (directshow)

Contains mex projects for Matlab R14 and 2007b. Please check contents of README_2009.txt inside archive file.

Some hints for Visual Studio 2008 Express & R2009a:

(1) It's not necessary to install SDK 2003 (exept of VfM-project).

(2) It seems to be necessary to modify the configuration options (C++=>output-files=>object file name & =>browse file) from "$(IntDir)/" to "$(IntDir)\"

(3) The generate manifest option should be enabled in all configurations.

(4) It seems to be useful to install also VC++ 2008 redistributable package.
