I have a USB camera pluged in my PC (using windows 7) and I'm trying to create a program to stream images from the camera.
How do I go about doing this? I've got the VID and PID of the camera, but don't know anything more about it. Please help.
Thanks
If you can use OpenCV, there is a very nice example here
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"
#include <stdio.h>
// A Simple Camera Capture Framework
int main() {
CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM( CV_CAP_ANY );
if ( !capture ) {
fprintf( stderr, "ERROR: capture is NULL \n" );
getchar();
return -1;
}
// Create a window in which the captured images will be presented
cvNamedWindow( "mywindow", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
// Show the image captured from the camera in the window and repeat
while ( 1 ) {
// Get one frame
IplImage* frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
if ( !frame ) {
fprintf( stderr, "ERROR: frame is null...\n" );
getchar();
break;
}
cvShowImage( "mywindow", frame );
// Do not release the frame!
//If ESC key pressed, Key=0x10001B under OpenCV 0.9.7(linux version),
//remove higher bits using AND operator
if ( (cvWaitKey(10) & 255) == 27 ) break;
}
// Release the capture device housekeeping
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
cvDestroyWindow( "mywindow" );
return 0;
}
