image acqisition toolbox AND scopetek dcm130e camera

I try to get images from scopetek dcm130e camera using image acqisition toolbox and fail to do it.

I have 3 cameras: defender c-110 (which does not need drivers) works well with winvideo adaptor; creative nx ultra started to work with winvideo adaptor after installing of K-Lite codec pack; and scopetek dcm130e doesn't work.

Camera dcm130e is OK: i can see video from it using the kmplayer or scopephoto. Image acquisition toolbox detects this camera in hardware browser but there is the only available format RGB24_0x0 (default) which is useless.

Could you tell me please how can i get images from scopetek dcm130e camera using matlab and image acquisition toolbox?

P.S.

windows xp sp3

matlab r2009b

toolbox version 3.4 (r2009b)

installed adaptors: coreco, winvideo

That is not a GigE camera: it is a USB 2.0 camera, and has a TWAIN interface. For that see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/78623-using-matlab-and-a-twain-scanner-together

MATLAB does not have any (built-in) capability to import images through the TWAIN interface ( http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/102856 ). The only way is third-party product. Печаль

Thanks for your reply.

So i believe to get images from scopetek dcm130e i need to do it through third-party product. Provided by camera vendor or by another software producer.

having googled the issue i found another way (i am not sure if it is reasonable): create .exe file using, for instance, python & twain api for python & py2exe; launch this .exe file by dos command from matlab

If the camera manufacturer has provided a DLL, you might be able to use that directly in MATLAB. But be sure to ask them if they have a MATLAB adapter first because that would be the easiest.
