what have "you" tried.
You will learn more doing it that way (and get better help here) rather than just asking for code...

Is it part of the requirements that the image be written out to png and that that png then be read in? Or is it only required that the snapshot be taken and the contents of the snapshot be made available in a variable _as if_ it had been read from file?

Hello,
This is the code. This code will captures images from your webcam.
clear; clc;
a = imaqhwinfo;
camera_name = char(a.InstalledAdaptors(end));
camera_info = imaqhwinfo(camera_name);
camera_id = camera_info.DeviceInfo.DeviceID(end);
resolution = char(camera_info.DeviceInfo.SupportedFormats(end));
vid = videoinput(camera_name, camera_id, resolution);
set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorspace', 'rgb')
vid.FrameGrabInterval = 5;
start(vid)
i = 1;
while(vid.FramesAcquired <= 200)
data(:,:,:,i) = getsnapshot(vid);
imshow(data(:,:,:,i));
drawnow;
i = i + 1;
end
stop(vid);
flushdata(vid);
vid.TimerFcn = {'stop'};
Then the rgb images will be strored in the variable 'data'.
This program will aquire data for 200 frames.
So, if you want to access frame 1, you can type 'data(:,:,:,1)'.
Try to type 'imshow(data(:,:,:,1)' in the command window when process finished.
