Hi, Is there any API in opencv ( or any programmatic way ) to get the range of a particular property of VideoCapture class like exposure or brightness.

The answer is NO, if you have asked about one universal way for the all kind of supported platforms and videobackends. BUT if you have saked for MS Windows than you can adjust exposure and brightness by means of this simple call:

cv::VideoCapture _capture;
if(_capture.open(_desiredvideodeviceid)) {
     // Lets's try to open DirectShow video device settings dialog
     _capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS,0.0);

    // Processing code
}

Thanks for immediate responding, but actually I am changing the focus value of the camera and not able to get range.

I solved this problem using set method. If value is true I call get to check if value is really set. but read note in get

That's not a direct way but it works

set() is always returning true and while getting using videoCapture::get(), it is returning the same value which is been set by set().

Which camera opencv and system do you use?

LBerger ( 2016-12-28 07:07:54 -0600 )edit

linux 14.04, opencv 3.1.0 and actually, camera is underdevelopment. So if would solve the issue, I will let you know.

"camera is underdevelopment" you will have to write code...If you want to share your code make a pull request

About autofocus you can try this sample
