Detailed Description

Base class for all video devices. It is designed to provide a front end to video sources.

This class should provide a virtual function that allows the acquisition of an image.

The example below shows how to use this class.

#include <visp3/core/vpConfig.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/io/vpImageIo.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vpV4l2Grabber.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vp1394TwoGrabber.h>
int main()
{
#if defined(VISP_HAVE_V4L2) || defined(VISP_HAVE_DC1394)
vpFrameGrabber *g; // Generic framegrabber
#if defined( VISP_HAVE_DC1394 )
// specific settings for firewire grabber based on libdc1394-2.x version
g = g_1394_2;
#elif defined( VISP_HAVE_V4L2 )
// specific settings for Video For Linux Two grabber
g_v4l2->setInput(2); // Input 2 on the board
g_v4l2->setWidth(384); // Acquired images are 768 width
g_v4l2->setHeight(288); // Acquired images are 576 height
g_v4l2->setNBuffers(3); // 3 ring buffers to ensure real-time acquisition
g = g_v4l2;
#endif
g->open(I); // Open the framegrabber
g->acquire(I); // Acquire an image
vpImageIo::write(I, "image.pgm"); // Write image on the disk
#endif
}

This virtual function is used to de-allocate the memory used by a specific frame grabber

Implemented in vp1394TwoGrabber, vpV4l2Grabber, vpVideoReader, vp1394CMUGrabber, vpDiskGrabber, and vpDirectShowGrabber.

unsigned int vpFrameGrabber::getHeight ( ) const
