I have an smartphone device with a camera. I would like to obtain and process this image data in MATLAB.
(Specifically, I have an Android device).

The general solution would need two parts, one to broadcast the data from the device and another part to read this data into MATLAB.
A specific solution for Android:
  • Install the free IP Webcam app. (Make sure you read the corresponding permissions and understand any security issues therein)
  • Open the app, set the desired resolution (will impact the speed!)
  • Scroll to the bottom and tap on 'Start Server'
  • In the camera preview window, note the url at the bottom of the screen.
  • Open MATLAB and use this code snippet to obtain a live preview window. Note that this uses JPG files for discrete frames, which is probably not the fastest way. The app can stream the video and/or audio in multiple ways.
url = 'http://<ip address>/shot.jpg';
ss = imread(url);
fh = image(ss);
while(1)
ss = imread(url);
set(fh,'CData',ss);
drawnow;
end
Example:
(If you find faster ways/solutions for other devices, post it here!)

If you happen to use the same product as was discussed in the link on instructables then the vendor site says that exposure is adjustable. https://www.e2esoft.com/ivcam-camera-settings/

Hi, tip from me - a bit quicker than taking jpg files is to use video. Using the mentioned app the link is simpy:
url_cam = 'http://<ip_address>/video';
cam = ipcam(url_cam)

You can use DroidCam if you are using an android phone. You'll need to install OS Generic Video Interface driver.
Hope it helps. :)

for anyone that can't find the correct address for droidcam simply connect to droidcam using your browser and click on the i button. It should look like this
http://192.168.1.61:4747/mjpegfeed?640x480
and then
camera = ipcam('http://ipaddress:port/mjpegfeed?640x480')

With the iPhone, using the App suggested by Ashish above (IP Cam), you can achieve the same pretty easily! The code is exactly the same:
url = 'http://<ipaddress>:8020/image.jpg';
ss = imread(url);
fh = image(ss);
while(1)
ss = imread(url);
set(fh,'CData',ss);
drawnow;
end

ipcam() was not introduced until R2015a, a year after amro posted their Answer.

Here's the working code for color detection using android camera:
url = 'http://192.168.0.100:8080/shot.jpg';
framesAcquired = 0;
while (framesAcquired <= 50) % the vedio will work till the 50 video frames, after that the vedio will stop. You can use while(1) for infinite loop
data = imread(url);
framesAcquired = framesAcquired + 1;
diff_im = imsubtract(data(:,:,1), rgb2gray(data)); % subtracting red component from the gray image
diff_im = medfilt2(diff_im, [3 3]); % used in image processing to reduce noise and for filtering
diff_im = im2bw(diff_im,0.18); % convert image to binary image
stats = regionprops(diff_im, 'BoundingBox', 'Centroid'); % measures a set of properties for each connected component in the binary image
drawnow;
imshow(data);
hold on
for object = 1:length(stats)
bb = stats(object).BoundingBox;
bc = stats(object).Centroid;
rectangle('Position',bb,'EdgeColor','b','LineWidth',2)
plot(bc(1),bc(2), '-m+')
end
hold off
end
%stop(vid); % to stop the video
%flushdata(vid); % erase the data video
clear all

Is there any simple solution to this problem in iphone(i.e. without having to install any third party apps) ?

I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for. However, you can use 'Simulink Support Package for Samsung GALAXY Android Devices' or 'Simulink Support Package for Apple iOS Devices' to access the appropriate smartphone camera. Both these support packages come with a Camera block that allow you to get the Camera data inside MATLAB. You can subsequently connect the Camera block to a Video Viewer block if you would like to visualize the data in Simulink.

You would either have to write the code in MATLAB and use MATLAB Coder, or else you would have to create a Simulink model and deploy that to Android.

You can geet a json file for sensors
s='4'
urlImage=['http://192.168.1.' s ':8080/shot.jpg']
urlSensors=['http://192.168.1.' s ':8080/sensors.json']
frame = imread(urlImage);
q=jsondecode(urlread(urlSensors)); %#ok<URLRD>
q.accel.data{1}{2}

Hi All,
I found out that;
imread('http://MY_IP /shot.jpg');
works only on secured network for me. If I am on a public network, then it gives error.

I wonder if you could use https://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/frommultimediafile.html
"On Windows platforms, this parameter supports URLs that point to MMS (Microsoft Media Server) streams."

Hi, there is a new feature on Apple devices (Continuity Camera) where we can directly use our phone's camera as our mac's webcam. With this feature activated, when using the command imaqhwinfo, i only see my mac's webcam and not my iPhone camera. Is there a way to acquire video (live) with my iPhone's camera ?
