Hi Michael, A few tips to get better video capture quality in highly dynamic motion situations: * Motion blur is not caused by low frame rate, it is caused by: * rolling shutters - global shutters exhibit much better motion capture * poor dynamic range - most sub $60 web cams have

Adam, If your issue is a low frame rate coming from the PS3Eye, I have written about this problem here http://blog.lemoneerlabs.com/post/BBB-webcams To make a long story short, the transfer method the PS3Eye uses to transfer data over USB doesn't work on the BBB at high frame rates and/or high

My first question for you would be which pixel format are you capturing in? If you do a v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX --list-formats-ext in the command line (where X is 0, 1, ... whatever your C920 is) you can see the various pixel formats, resolutions, and frame rates supported by the camera. For

Thank you very much for both of your responses. I will take a look at the code you both suggested. In response to Matthew, the ODroid so far has proven to be great at almost everything. I have already turned off auto exposure and auto focus. The platform I have the camera on moves often

Okay, so the problem you're having has to do with bugs in OpenCV, itself. Unfortunately, the capture methods in OpenCV do not set the camera properties correctly for video4linux devices. In other words, you may write the line of code to set the frame rate to 30 fps, but the camera isn't actually

2014-01-30 Thread Matthew Witherwax
If you bypass OpenCV and capture directly like we did, you should test to see if you can capture successfully in YUYV format. OpenCV can convert YUYV to a Mat with less than 3% cpu use. If you capture in MJPEG, you will see cpu use of 90% or more to convert the image to a Mat. This isn't so bad

I am working with the C920 on an ODroid, similar to the BBB. I am also having a problem capturing more than 15fps in OpenCV, however, I need to use OpenCV for doing processing on the video. Since I am not just grabbing frames, I can't do something like framegrabber. Is there anyone who has

Re: [beagleboard] Re: problems with webcams

All you have to do is adapt the frame grabber code for your needs. I actually went ahead and rewrote the capture code to be object oriented so that I could conveniently use it with OpenCV's C++ interface. You might find some of my code helpful as an example to work from. It is in a public git

To piggy back on Mike's response, when we were testing the capture rate of the BBB, we used a modified version of framegrabber that is attached to this article http://blog.lemoneerlabs.com/post/bbb-optimized-opencv-mjpeg-stream It allows you to set all the parameters the regular framegrabber
