I've installed OpenCV 2.2 and now I can't get webcam capture to work. It worked ok in 2.1. OpenCV detects a webcam, doesn't report any errors or warnings, but each frame is a gray image. I even tried a code sample from OpenCV wiki:
VideoCapture cap(0); // open the default camera
if(!cap.isOpened()) // check if we succeeded
return -1;
Mat edges;
namedWindow("edges",1);
for(;;)
{
Mat frame;
cap >> frame; // get a new frame from camera
cvtColor(frame, edges, CV_BGR2GRAY);
//GaussianBlur(edges, edges, Size(7,7), 1.5, 1.5);
//Canny(edges, edges, 0, 30, 3);
imshow("edges", edges);
if(waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
}
// the camera will be deinitialized automatically in VideoCapture destructor
return 0;
Did anyone run into this issue? I'm using 64bit Win7 and Visual Studio 2010.
I found the solution after a very long search.
The problem is that if doesn't have a delay between showing the frames happen this problem.
The solution is put cvWaitKey(20);
in loop.
