Matlab System Codegen error in Simulink

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi All,
Having an issue implementing a Matlab System in a Simulink model. The frameBufferSys system is intended to act as a moving average that operates on the frames of a video, code attached below. It takes 2 tunable parameters in the mask, the length of the moving average (number of frames it acts on), and the size of those frames. It works using interpreted execution, but with codegen I get the following error:
Simulink detected an error
'Dimension 1 is fixed on the left-hand side but varies on the right ([720 x 1280] ~= [:? x :?]).'.
The error occurred for MATLAB System block 'Moving_Average/MATLAB System'.
To prevent this error, use one of the following:
* Modify the System object to avoid code that does not support code generation.
* Change 'Simulate using' parameter to 'Interpreted Execution'.
The size of the inputs and outputs will not vary at all during simulation and should be set by the tunable parameter 'Resolution' in the mask. Any ideas how to fix this? Alternatively if anyone has a way to implement this with existing Simulink blocks that'd be great.
Many thanks, Chris
