Hello All, I am using OpenCV 2.4.6 with VS2010. I think my webcam can't capture the frame. When I executed the code it has builed successfully. But I am not getting output. I think, when I checked "if(!bSuccess)" its executed and can't capture frame from the webcam. Please help me, how can I resolve it. Thanks in advanced.........

Mat frame;
bool bSuccess = cap.read(frame);
if (!bSuccess)
{
   cout << "Cannot read a frame from video file" << endl;
   break;
}

good idea to check cap.isOpened() before attempting to read()

also, it is a bit strange that your code snippet doesn't contain a creating of a VideoCapture element to actually capture frames from.

Your trying to save every frame or you just want to run your webcam ?

try that:

VideoCapture cap(0);
if(cap)
{
    while(1)
    {
        Mat image;
        cap>>image;
        if (!image.data) break;
        if (waitKey(30) >= 0) break;

        imshow("test",image);
        waitKey(1);
    }
}

As an addition to this, you could replace the !image.data by the function image.empty() which does internally the same thing ;)

include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"

include <iostream>

using namespace cv; using namespace std; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { VideoCapture cap(0); if (!cap.isOpened())
{ cout << "Cannot open the video file" << endl; return -1; } double dWidth = cap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH); double dHeight = cap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT); cout << "Frame size : " << dWidth << " x " << dHeight << endl; namedWindow("MyVideo",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE); while (1) { Mat frame; bool bSuccess = cap.read(frame); if (!bSuccess) { cout << "Cannot read a frame from video file" << endl; break; } imshow("MyVideo", frame); if (waitKey(30) == 27) { cout << "key is pressed" << endl; break; } } return 0; }

Hello dear, I submitted the full code in the above comment. Video Capture in ok. but when the frame is capture that time problem happened. When check the if structure for capturing frame that time I got message "Cannot read a frame from video file" and program terminated. Please give a solution about it.

Try this

    CvCapture *capture1 = cvCaptureFromCAM(0);
    if( !capture1 ) return 1; 
    cvNamedWindow("Video1");
    while(true) 
    {
        //grab and retrieve each frames of the video sequentially 
        IplImage* frame1 = cvQueryFrame( capture1 );

        cvShowImage( "Video1", frame1 );

        //wait for 40 milliseconds
        int c = cvWaitKey(40);

        //exit the loop if user press "Esc" key  (ASCII value of "Esc" is 27) 
        if((char)c==27 ) break;
    }
}

Hope this works for you , and the code which you paste in comment kindly paste it in your question , so that every one can better understand what your trying to do

In c++ format you can get the answer from here answer
