I have a program that uses OpenCV to take a picture using your webcam. It works like a charm on windows, yet, it doesn't work on OSx. The Frame where the Webcam view should appear stays empty. And when I take a picture, it just shows a black void, as if it couldnt find the webcam
public void run(){
try {
grabber = new VideoInputFrameGrabber(0);
grabber.start();
while (active) {
IplImage originalImage = grabber.grab();
Label.setIcon(new ImageIcon( originalImage.getBufferedImage() ));
}
grabber.stop();
grabber.flush();
} catch (Exception ex) {
//Logger.getLogger(ChPanel.class.getName()).log(Leve l.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
public BufferedImage saveImage(){
IplImage img;
try {
//capture image
img = grabber.grab();
// save to file
File outputfile = new File(Project.getInstance().getFileURLStr() + " capture" + fotoCount++ + ".jpg");
ImageIO.write(img.getBufferedImage(), "jpg", outputfile);
//get file and set it in the project library
BufferedImage ImportFile = ImageIO.read(outputfile);
Project p = Project.getInstance();
MainScreen ms = MainScreen.getInstance();
ImageIcon takenPhoto = new ImageIcon(ImportFile);
p.setNextImage(takenPhoto);
ms.setPanels();
return ImportFile;
} catch (com.googlecode.javacv.FrameGrabber.Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
Does anyone know how to solve this? I suspect something about rights to use the webcam or something like that
