I need to obtain raw preview data from Camera object at least 15 frame per second, but I can only get a frame in 110 milliseconds which means I can get only 9 frames per second. I brief my code below.
Camera mCamera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewFrameRate(30);
parameters.setPreviewFpsRange(15000,30000);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.addCallbackBuffer(new byte[dataBufferSize]);
//dataBufferSize stands for the byte size for a picture frame
mCamera.addCallbackBuffer(new byte[dataBufferSize]);
mCamera.addCallbackBuffer(new byte[dataBufferSize]);
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(videoCaptureViewHolder);
//videoCaptureViewHolder is a SurfaceHolder object
mCamera.setPreviewCallbackWithBuffer(new Camera.PreviewCallback() {
private long timestamp=0;
public synchronized void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.v("CameraTest","Time Gap = "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-timestamp));
timestamp=System.currentTimeMillis();
//do picture data process
camera.addCallbackBuffer(data);
return;
}
}
mCamera.startPreview();
In the briefed code above, dataBufferSize and videoCaptureViewHolder is defined and calculated or assigned in other statements.
I run my code, I can see preview on the screen and I get the log below:
...
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 105
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 112
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 113
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 115
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 116
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 113
V/CameraTest( 5396): Time Gap = 115
...
This means onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) is called every 110 milliseconds so I can get no more than 9 frames per second. And no matter what preview frame rate I set by issue setPreviewFrameRate() and what preview Fps range I set by issue setPreviewFpsRange(), the log is the same.
Would some one give me some help on this problem? I need to obtain raw preview data from Camera object at least 15 frames per second. Thank you in advance.
I put my entire code below.
