OpenCV 3.2 with Python 3 VideoCapture changes sett

问题:

I worked with OpenCV 3.2 with Python3 and SBC OXU4. I have a true 5MPx web-camera connected to SBC. I want to take from this camera 2592x1944 resolution picture. If I use Cheese I can take picture with this resolution. I can save pictures with command line program streamer -t 4 -r 4 -s 2592x1944 -o b0.jpeg But when I take picture with OpenCV3.2 like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
 import cv2
 import os
 import time
 capture1 = cv2.VideoCapture(2)
 if capture1.isOpened():
   capture1.set(3, 2592)
   capture1.set(4, 1944)
   s, img = capture1.read()
   if not img.all():
    cv2.imwrite('test1.jpg', img)
    print('image done!')
else:
 print('cant open camera')

I will see 1920x1080 photo resolution. Also I have inspected v4l2-ctls

In fact I see that we have default settings as MJPG 1920X1080. After that I tried to use v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1936,pixelformat=YUYV and with v4l2-ctl --all I saw that params are sets to:

Driver name   : uvcvideo

But when I start my script this params resets and I take 1920x1080 image and see on v4l2-ctl --all that its MJPG 1920x1080. As I understood cap=cv2.VideoCapture(0) resets settings of v4l2 device to default before working. How can I tune default settings to YUYV 2952x1944 with which I can take an image? Also why cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH) doesn't work? Because OpenCV identified max resolution like MJPG 1920?

回答1:

OpenCV automatically selects the first available capture backend (see here). It can be that it is not using V4L2 automatically.

Also set both -D WITH_V4L=ON and -D WITH_LIBV4L=ON when building.

(Unrelated to the question) In order to set the pixel format to be used set the CAP_PROP_FOURCC property of the capture:

capture = cv2.VideoCapture(cam_id, cv2.CAP_V4L2)
capture.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'))
