7 Working with Acquired Image Data
7-22
Viewing Acquired Data
Once you bring the data into the MATLAB workspace, you can view it as you would any
other image in MATLAB.
The Image Acquisition Toolbox software includes a function, imaqmontage, that you can
use to view all the frames of a multiframe image array in a single MATLAB image object.
imaqmontage arranges the frames so that they roughly form a square. imaqmontage
can be useful for visually comparing multiple frames.
MATLAB includes two functions, image and imagesc, that display images in a figure
window. Both functions create a MATLAB image object to display the frame. You can
use image object properties to control aspects of the display. The imagesc function
automatically scales the input data.
The Image Processing Toolbox software includes an additional display routine called
imshow. Like image and imagesc, this function creates a MATLAB image object.
However, imshow also automatically sets various image object properties to optimize the
display.
