IC control + opencv (show and save color video with opencv)

[moisdc]

Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to capture a video with my DFGUSB with a determinate contrast, brightness, saturation and sharpness.
Then I would like to show in color and in gray this video from opencv.
Also, I would like to save this video from opencv, for example in .avi.

I have a DFGUSB2 connected to my TV and to my laptop by USB, I use IC Control 3.2 and VisualStudio 2008 (vc8). I have windows 7, 32 bits.

Currently, I have not achieved to save the video with opencv. I think that I have missed something in my code.

Thank you in advance

#include "stdafx.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
bool result;
result = DShowLib::InitLibrary( "ISB3200016679");
if (result == false)
{
printf("FAILED\n");
cin.get();
}

Grabber grabber;
setupDeviceFromFile( grabber ); //funcion del IC Control 3.1
grabber.setOverlayBitmapPathPosition( ePP_NONE );
tFrameHandlerSinkPtr pSink = FrameHandlerSink::create( eRGB24, 2 );
pSink->setSnapMode( true );
grabber.setSinkType( pSink );
result = grabber.prepareLive( false );

if (result == false)
{
printf("FAILED\n");
cin.get();
}

FrameTypeInfo info;
pSink->getOutputFrameType( info );

IplImage *img = 0;
IplImage *imgNDG = 0;
CvSize size = cvSize(info.dim.cx,info.dim.cy);
img = cvCreateImage( size, IPL_DEPTH_8U , 3 );
imgNDG = cvCreateImage( size, IPL_DEPTH_8U , 1 );

CvVideoWriter *writer = 0;
int isColor = 1;
int fps = 15; // or 30
writer = cvCreateVideoWriter("output.avi",0,fps,size,isColor);

cvConvertImage(img,imgNDG,CV_RGB2GRAY);
cvFlip( img, img );
cvShowImage( "Resultat", img );
cvShowImage( "GRAY", imgNDG );

cvWriteFrame(writer,img); //para grabar el frame



char c = cvWaitKey(20);
if( c == 27 ) break;
}

grabber.stopLive();

cvReleaseImage(&img);
cvReleaseImage(&imgNDG);
//cvDestroyWindow("Original Image");
delete [] pBuf;

printf("We are done\n");
cin.get();

return 0;
}

Moises,

please understand, we do no programming support for third party software. Please ask in the appropriate OpenCV forums.

However, saving AVI files with IC Imaging Control is easy. Please refer to http://www.imagingcontrol.com/en_US/support/documentation/class/AviFile.htm
