The MathWorks Introduces Image Acquisition Toolbox 2.Upgrade Brings Support for QImaging and Hamamatsu Cameras Used in Embedded Imaging Systems and Advanced Scientific Applications NATICK, Mass. -- The MathWorks today announced the release of Image Acquisition Toolbox 2, which now supports QImaging and Hamamatsu cameras used in fields such as fluorescence microscopy Noun 1. fluorescence microscopy - light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes microscopy - research with the use of microscopes and particle image velocimetry Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is an optical method used to measure velocities and related properties in fluids. The fluid is seeded with particles which, for the purposes of PIV, are generally assumed to faithfully follow the flow dynamics. . Image Acquisition Toolbox enables engineers and scientists with PC-compatible imaging hardware to capture images and video into MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and [R] and Simulink[R] for iterative it·er·a·tive adj. 1. Characterized by or involving repetition, recurrence, reiteration, or repetitiousness. 2. Grammar Frequentative. Noun 1. image acquisition, processing, and analysis. The new version lets a broader class of engineers and scientists create customized imaging applications for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. and scientific research. "Image Acquisition Toolbox gives engineers and scientists who develop imaging solutions in MATLAB and Simulink a consistent interface across a wide range of imaging devices, from inexpensive Web cameras or industrial frame-grabbers to high-end scientific cameras," said Bruce Tannenbaum, technical marketing manager at The MathWorks. "With this upgrade, engineers and scientists who need high-speed video capture or low-light capabilities can use cameras from Hamamatsu and QImaging." Image Acquisition Toolbox provides functions for detecting hardware automatically, configuring hardware properties, and previewing an acquisition. In addition to Hamamatsu and QImaging, the toolbox supports the hardware vendors DALSA (formerly Coreco), Data Translation, and Matrox Imaging. Image Acquisition Toolbox combined with MATLAB and Image Processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished Toolbox lets engineers and scientists visualize data, develop unique processing algorithms and analysis techniques, and create graphical user interfaces graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to . By using these products with MATLAB[R] Compiler, they can turn their work into self-contained applications that run independently of MATLAB. With Simulink, Image Acquisition Toolbox, and Video and Image Processing Blockset, engineers can rapidly prototype design ideas for real-time embedded imaging systems and test them with real-time images or video from DirectX-compatible devices. This workflow helps reveal errors before designs are committed to hardware, when errors are easier and less expensive to fix. "The MathWorks is an industry leader of cutting-edge software needed by engineers and scientists to develop advanced imaging applications and systems," said Nigel Van Luinen, product manager for QImaging. "We're pleased that users of our hardware can now benefit from Image Acquisition Toolbox." Pricing and Availability Image Acquisition Toolbox 2 is available immediately for the Microsoft Windows See Windows.
