IP Camera frames manipulation

asked 2013-06-26 17:11:40 -0600

Is it possible to receive the video stream from an ip camera to my android application and manipulate it in order to accomplish face and movement detection. I search the forum but i wasn't able to find something similar. Any given guidelines will be most helpful

i needed that too, so i hacked something. create an ordinary Android application, add the opencv libs, and add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

to the manifest.

here's the code:

package com.berak.mjpg;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

import org.opencv.android.BaseLoaderCallback;
import org.opencv.android.LoaderCallbackInterface;
import org.opencv.android.OpenCVLoader;
import org.opencv.android.Utils;
import org.opencv.core.Mat;
import org.opencv.core.MatOfByte;
import org.opencv.highgui.Highgui;

import com.berak.mjpg.R;

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    MjpgTask task;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        task.doRun = false;
        task.cancel(true);
    }

    private BaseLoaderCallback mLoaderCallback = new BaseLoaderCallback(this) {
        @Override
        public void onManagerConnected(int status) {
            switch (status) {
            case LoaderCallbackInterface.SUCCESS:
                break;
            default:
                super.onManagerConnected(status);
                break;
            }
        }
    };

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        boolean r = OpenCVLoader.initAsync(OpenCVLoader.OPENCV_VERSION_2_4_5,this, mLoaderCallback);
        Log.e("MJPG", "opencv onboard : " + r);

        task = new MjpgTask();
        task.execute("http://82.135.240.133/mjpg/video.mjpg?resolution=352x288");
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        task.doRun = false;
        task.cancel(true);
    }

    private class MjpgTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Long> {
        byte[] arr = new byte[100000];
        boolean doRun = false;

        protected Long doInBackground(String... urls) {
            long totalSize = 0;
            try {
                URL url = new URL(urls[0]);
                HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
                doRun = in.available() > 0;
                while (doRun) {

                    // check for jpeg soi sequence: ff d8

                    }
                    if (i > 999) {
                        Log.e("MJPG", "bad head!");
                        continue;

                    i++; // total bytecount
                    publishProgress(i);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {

can you please give me an explanation on what you did since i am new to the opecv development?

i have been running and debugging your code and it looks to work very well but because i am new to opencv can you give me an example of how can i process the images.I basically wanted to do a face detection app.I stacked for a few days now.

hmm, did you look at OpenCV/samples/face-detection/src/org/opencv/samples/facedetect/FdActivity.java ? basically, you want the same steps as taken there for the JAVA_DETECTOR, that is:

  • initialize and load a CascadeClassifier (same as in BaseLoaderCallback)
  • in onProgressUpdate, when you got the ocvImg, convert it to grayscale
  • call mJavaDetector.detectMultiScale() to fill a MatOfRect faces;

This works great! However, there is a huge lag between the view output and the camera input. What would you recommend to reduce this? Thanks in advance!
