I'm trying to capture the video stream off of my Logitech C920 in OpenCV. With Labview I can access an MJPG stream at 30fps 1080p. In opencv I am limited to either 5fps or 640x480.
Here is the code relevant to the camera settings:
this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1920);
this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 1080);
this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC,CV_FOURCC('M','J','P','G'));
These all return 1, yet I get a 5fps stream of 1080p which corresponds to the YUY2 stream.
If I add the following line:
this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS, 30);
This returns 0. I get a 30 fps stream at 640x480. To me it looks like the MJPG setting isn't be accepted but I don't know what to do or how to fix that.
EDIT: The following crashes the program.
this->camRef.read(this->image);
std::cout<< this->camRef.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC) << std::endl;
std::cout<< this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, config.width) << std::endl;
std::cout<< this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, config.height) << std::endl;
std::cout<< this->camRef.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC,CV_FOURCC('M','J','P','G')) << std::endl;
std::cout<< this->camRef.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC) << std::endl;
Then in my run code I have the following:
void camera::run()
{
while(true)
{
if(this->camRef.read(this->image) == 0)
{
if(this->capture)
{
cv::imwrite(fileName,this->image);
this->count++;
}
}
msleep(15);
}
}
EDIT2: Solution is to set the fourCC codec before setting camera height and width.
