You can use the following code to make an app to capture and display video stream:
public class CameraCapture
{
private Capture capture; //takes images from camera as image frames
private bool captureInProgress;
private void ProcessFrame(object sender, EventArgs arg)
{
Image<Bgr, Byte> ImageFrame = capture.QueryFrame(); //line 1
CamImageBox.Image = ImageFrame; //line 2
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (capture == null)
{
try
{
capture = new Capture();
}
catch (NullReferenceException excpt)
{
MessageBox.Show(excpt.Message);
}
}
if (capture != null)
{
if (captureInProgress)
{ //if camera is getting frames then stop the capture and set button Text
// "Start" for resuming capture
btnStart.Text = "Start!"; //
Application.Idle -= ProcessFrame;
}
else
{
//if camera is NOT getting frames then start the capture and set button
// Text to "Stop" for pausing capture
btnStart.Text = "Stop";
Application.Idle += ProcessFrame;
}
captureInProgress = !captureInProgress;
}
}
}
Not sure what you want to do with the data, but this will get you a single frame from the camera (and display it in a pictureBox on a WinForm)
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var capture = new Emgu.CV.Capture();
using (var nextFrame = capture.QueryFrame())
{
if (nextFrame != null)
{
pictureBox1.Image = nextFrame.ToBitmap();
}
}
}
