image acquisition toolbox

Can image acquisition toolbox acquire image automatically either from:

1) labview? 2) Folder?

Or it's just can acquire image from camera?

You can "acquire" from a folder by reading an image file with imread(). I don't know what it means to acquire from labview. Do you mean to somehow have labview up and running and somehow/some way snag a child window that labview has up?

The camera will connect with labview purposely to control the image capturement from the camera, I want to know if the image taken by the camera which have to control by labview may automatically read by matlab.

second option is after image capturement, the image will be save in the folder, and how matlab may read that image automatically/input automatically in Matlab for processing? How to do that?

The system have to run automatically, the image in the folder will keep changing in interval time.

So, can this toolbox do that?

Image Acquisition Toolbox can be used to directly control the camera and acquisition, and to bring the image from the camera into MATLAB. Depending on your camera you may not need another software package to control the camera from MATLAB. See the list of supported cameras.

As ImageAnalyst said, Image Acquisition Toolbox is not required for loading an image from a file.

ok.. thanks.. the camera that I used is thermal camera that require to control it using labview, which labview is purposely used to control the image capturement. but I will try to directly connect with matlab
