View webcam feed before it takes a snap?
So my code should detect an object with opencv and once it detects it it should take a snap of it. Which it does fine....However it simply goes to the webcam and doesn't show me the webcam feed. When it detects the object it takes a snap and show the image.
What I want is to see the webcam feed until it detects the object....How can I do that?
Here's my code:
import cv2
cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('xcascade.xml')
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
num = 0
while num<1000:
ret, img = cap.read()
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cas = cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 10, 10)
for(x,y,w,h) in cas:
font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX
cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y), (x+w,y+h),(255,255,0),5)
cv2.putText(img, 'Something',(x,y-120), font, 1.5, (0,255,255),5, cv2.LINE_AA)
num = num+1
cv2.imshow('img',img)
cv2.waitKey(1000)
cap.release()
cv2.desrtoyAllWindows()
break
