How to horizontally flip webcam video in matlab?

I'm using this example and I want to flip webcam video horizontally. I tried to implement this to flip it but no luck!

Solution

  • I'm not sure why is the HorizontalFlip flag doesn't works in your case.

    One possibility is to do a work-around and simply flip the image horizontally right after capturing it. Use Matlab's flip function, where the second parameter is 2 (it represents the second image dimension).

    videoFrame = flip(videoFrame,2);

    Performing flip won't lead to any information loss, as can be seen in the following example:

    a = rand(100,100,3);
b = flip(flip(a,2),2);
isequal(a,b)

    Result:

    ans = 1
