MATLAB Image Processing and Video Blockset

MATLAB Video and Image Processing Blockset is a tool used for the rapid design, prototyping, graphical simulation of video processing algorithms. Blocks can import streaming video into the simulink environment and perform two-dimensional filtering, geometric and frequency transforms, block processing, motion estimation, edge detection and other signal processing algorithms. To use any data type other than double-precision and single-precision floating point, you must install simulink fixed Point.
