Visual Servoing Platform  version 3.3.0 under development (2020-02-17)
grabDirectShowMulti.cpp

Example of framegrabbing using vpDirectShowGrabber class.

Grab grey level images using DirectShow frame grabbing capabilities. Display the images using the GTK or GDI display.

Acquire images using DirectShow (under Windows only) and display\n\
it using GTK or the windows GDI if GTK is not available.\n\
For a given camera, mediatype (or video mode) as well as framerate\n\
can be set.\n\
If more than one camera is connected, this example allows also to \n\

SYNOPSIS\n\
%s [-t <mediatype>] [-f <framerate>] \n\
[-c <camera id>] [-m] [-n <frames>] [-i] [-s] [-d] \n\
[-o <filename>] [-h]\n\
\n\
OPTIONS Default\n\
-t [%%u] \n\
MediaType (or video mode) to set for the active \n\
camera. Use -s option so see which are the supported \n\
Mediatypes. You can select the active camera \n\
using -c option.\n\
\n\
-f [%%d] \n\
Framerate to set for the active camera.\n\
You can select the active camera using -c option.\n", name);
fprintf(stdout, "\n\
-c [%%u] %u\n\
Active camera identifier.\n\
Zero is for the first camera found on the bus.\n\
\n\
-m \n\
Flag to active multi camera acquisition. \n\
You need at least two cameras connected on the bus.\n\
\n\
-n [%%u] %u\n\
Number of frames to acquire.\n\
\n\
-i \n\
Flag to print camera information.\n\
\n\
-s \n\
Print camera settings capabilities such as MediaType \n\
and sizes available and exit.\n\
\n\
-d \n\
Flag to turn off image display.\n\
\n\
-o [%%s] \n\
Filename for image saving. \n\
Example: -o %s\n\
The first %%d is for the camera id, %%04d\n\
is for the image numbering.\n\
\n\
-h \n\
Print the help.\n\
