Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

Hello,

I have to work with the image acquisition toolbox and i find it quite disturbing to always change to windows. So I installed Matlab 2010b on my Linux machine (Arch, Kernel 39). Skype & friends work perfectly with my camera (using uvcvideo/video4linux2) but Matlab doesn't.

It says

>> imaqhwinfo

ans =

    InstalledAdaptors: {}
        MATLABVersion: '7.11 (R2010b)'
          ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox'
       ToolboxVersion: '4.0 (R2010b)'


Googeling just told me, that it should support video4linux2 and other programs can use the camera.
What can I do?

Regards and Thanks in advance,
Jan Oliver Oelerich

/e: It is a built-in laptop camera!
/e2: I am in the "video" group and running matlab as root doesn't help.

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

It might be important, that I use Matlab 64 bit while "lsmod | grep v4l2" says:

v4l2_compat_ioctl32     8364  1 videodev

Does this mean that my video4linux2 driver is 32 bit? Or something like that?

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

v4l2_compat_ioctl32 is part of both the 32 and 64 bit packages, so i doubt that is the problem.

your problem seems to be that mathlab imaqhwinfo doesn't detect your camera , and thus you can't use it in mathlab.

video is the group displays , check if you are  a member of camera group.

What is the brand / model / type of your camera ( if you don't know , state those of the laptop ) .
Which version of matlab are you using ?

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

I am using Matlab R2010b. I'm not quite sure about the camera, udev says

  looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.4/4-1.4:1.0/video4linux/video0':
    KERNEL=="video0"
    SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{name}=="HP HD Webcam [Fixed]"
    ATTR{index}=="0"

It is an HP EliteBook 8460p. I am running Arch 64 bit, and, as I said, kernel 39.

There is no "camera" group, creating it and adding myself to it doesn't help.

Enabling the module v4l2-common didn't help, I already tried that.

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

HP doesn't have specifications of the webcam except : 720p HD webcam, so that doesn't bring us further.

please post the output of

walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device

It seems like the camera is connected via usb internally...

/e: Is it possible to use the uvcvideo driver directly without video4linux in between?

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

my mistake, should have asked for the output of :

# lsusb -v

check out this topic :  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928216 .

Apart from video 4 linux 2 mathlab also supports GigE Vision and DCAM IEEE 1394 standards.
DCAM is a standard for firewire devices, GigE vision deals with cameras connected over ethernet.

The uvcvideo driver appears to be only usable through video4linux .

/e: yes, I found that thread already, but I think it's a different problem since in that case "imaqhwinfo" returned something initially. In my case it seems to be some issue between video4linux and Matlab rather than the camera.

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

Ok, the camera has been identified as being manfactured by Chicony for HP.
PCI-id 04f2 : 2b30 .

I have found nothing about using this camera for matlab, and chicony is not 1 of the supported manufacturers for the imac toolbox.

It looks like you have 3 options :
- buy a camera that is supported under linux for the imac toolbox

- setup the webcam to record a continuous stream to a file , access that file from within imac .

- post in the matlab groups mentioned by dave tarkokwski and ask for their help :

MATLAB Newsgroup.

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

It works here.

However I'm using matlab inside a centos 5 chroot, I don't know if that matters, I remember that before matlab used to complain about something when running directly on arch and as I have the need for a chroot for other programs I have started to use matlab there.

lsusb has this to say about the webcam:

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

Hmmm I don't know If I really want to install another system for this. But I might give it a try sometimes. Thanks for the answer!

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

Works here on Arch, too (64-bit, kernel 2.6.39.1, now Matlab 2011a but it used to work in 2010b, too). I have a logitech webcam, if you need any further information, just ask.

//EDIT: Can you start matlab from a terminal and post any output here?

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

$ matlab -r "imaqhwinfo"
/usr/local/matlab2010b/bin/util/oscheck.sh: line 184: /lib64/libc.so.6: No such file or directory

I fixed the bug causing that error, still no change.

Re: Matlab Image acqisition toolbox doesn't find my webcam

Hmm really strange, I just checked my output of "udevadm" and "lsusb" and it's similiar to yours.
I just checked which of my installed packages have something to do with "video support" and just found these two:

v4l-utils 0.8.4-1
sdl 1.2.14-6

I guess it's worth a try if you don't have them already,

//EDIT: Maybe you also have a look at the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup there are some tips at the bottom which you could try - even if it's strange that your webcam works in skype.

The libc error is not really an error, oscheck.sh is quite dumb about its assumptions (for one thing, we don't use lib64), doesn't affect actual operation.

Hmm really strange, I just checked my output of "udevadm" and "lsusb" and it's similiar to yours.
I just checked which of my installed packages have something to do with "video support" and just found these two:

v4l-utils 0.8.4-1
sdl 1.2.14-6

I guess it's worth a try if you don't have them already,

//EDIT: Maybe you also have a look at the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup there are some tips at the bottom which you could try - even if it's strange that your webcam works in skype.

No, it's not a permission problem. I am pretty sure about that.
Weird thing...
