CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS working on opencvsharp not on opencv??

Hello, I've been using opencvsharp and this code works fine:

        VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture(0);
        capture.Set(37, 1);

where 37 is CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS ( not defined in opencvsharps ) and correctly open my webcam configuration window.

Now trying on a cpp project with opencv

VideoCapture capture(0); // open the default camera
if (!capture.isOpened())  // check if we succeeded
    return -1;

capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS, 1);

open the device, but no configuration window appears.

Any hint?

is this the same machine and camera (driver installation) ?

note, that this property is not supported for all camera models / os / capture types.

did you try to access the props page from another program, like graphedit, or vlc even ?

which opencv version are you using ?

machine and camera are the very same and thus the drivers. Maybe there is some additional code in the opencvsharp wrapping that make the property page of camera appear. I could check but I've not such a deep expertise. Maybe someone do? Otherwise does anyone know of a camera model whose exposure can be set from opencv ( that is my purpose but my camera which is a SPC530NC allows it only via its property page ) ?

Hi,

I am confused what you mean by configuration window; no window should come up that I am aware of. When using a capture.set() you are adjusting the camera settings where I grabbed some examples from link below: http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/user_guide/ug_highgui.html

• CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH – Frame width in pixels.

• CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT – Frame height in pixels.

• CV_CAP_PROP_FPS – Frame rate in FPS.

Hope this helps.

sorry, but this does not help. did you even try it ?

the goal of capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS, 1); is to access the cam's property page, where you can store settings persistantly, and also reach some props , which are not wrapped in the opencv interface.

from the doc

CAP_PROP_SETTINGS Pop up video/camera filter dialog (note: only supported by DSHOW backend currently.

Maybe opencvsharp uses cv::CAP_DSHOW as default backend for VideoCapture. Try using:

VideoCapture capture(0+cv::CAP_DSHOW); // open the default camera using DirectShow
if (!capture.isOpened())  // check if we succeeded
    return -1;
capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS, 1);

And the doc says

Backends are available only if they have been built with your OpenCV binaries. See Video I/O with OpenCV Overview for more information.

PS: Currently there is an error in the doc. The description of CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS is under CAP_PROP_BUFFERSIZE

an error why do you mean?

In the doc, the description of CV_CAP_PROP_SETTINGS is under CAP_PROP_BUFFERSIZE. BTW I'm fixing it with PR8082
