MATLAB Video Reading Implementation with C Code Integration

This resource provides a MATLAB-based video reading program along with a complementary C language implementation, representing significant value for multimedia processing applications. The MATLAB program utilizes built-in functions like VideoReader() to efficiently load video files, supporting various formats including AVI, MP4, and MOV through MATLAB's multimedia I/O capabilities. The accompanying C program demonstrates low-level video processing techniques using libraries such as OpenCV or FFmpeg, enabling direct memory manipulation and hardware acceleration. This dual-language approach allows users to leverage MATLAB's rapid prototyping advantages for initial video analysis while utilizing the C implementation for performance-critical sections through MATLAB's MEX interface. The program structure includes frame extraction algorithms, timestamp handling, and buffer management systems that ensure data accuracy and reliability. By providing the C source code, developers can customize memory allocation strategies, implement custom codecs, or integrate hardware-specific optimizations to meet advanced functional requirements. The implementation demonstrates key video processing concepts including frame rate control, color space conversion, and compression handling. Overall, this package serves as both a practical tool for immediate video processing tasks and an excellent educational foundation for studying video I/O techniques across different programming environments.
