A universal MATLAB driver for Basler cameras

Until now, interfacing cameras in MATLAB was a cumbersome task. MATLAB offers no support for USB3 Vision cameras, and the GigE driver is rather buggy. This driver package provides an open-source C++ interface between MATLAB and Basler's Pylon interface.
This driver was developed at the ICOM Institute for Communication Systems at HSR University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland, Rapperswil.
Unfortunately, this project is not being actively developed and maintained anymore. Due to that, it is still required to use Pylon 4 and not the most recent Pylon 5. If you are interested in updating this driver to Pylon 5 please feel free to contact me. Further, the camera support in MATLAB has improved significantly since this project was first published - I suggest giving the MATLAB Image Acquisition Toolbox a try first.
The MATLAB Basler Camera Driver is built by calling the provided make.m file.
BOOST_ROOT set to the Boost root directory)baslerFindCameras returns a cell array containing the camera index and the camera name.baslerCameraInfo returns a struct containing all parameters of the selected camera.baslerSetParameter sets a camera parameter.baslerGetParameter returns the selected camera parameter.baslerSetROI sets the region of interest (ROI).baslerPreview displays a preview image.baslerGetData captures and returns the selected number of frames.baslerSaveData captures and saves the selected number of frames to disk.The MIT License (MIT)
