Code:

import cv2

def method_webcam_trigger()

    key = cv2. waitKey(1)
    webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
    while True:
        try:
            check, frame = webcam.read()
            cv2.imshow("Capturing", frame)
            key = cv2.waitKey(1)
            if key == ord('s'): 
                cv2.imwrite(filename='saved_img.jpg', img=frame)
                webcam.release()
                cv2.waitKey(1650)
                cv2.destroyAllWindows()
                print("Image saved!")
                webcam.release()
                cv2.destroyAllWindows()
                break
            elif key == ord('q'):
                webcam.release()
                cv2.destroyAllWindows()
                break

Abouve the code which am using. I wrote the code to take the picture in a function and the function will activate in a button click. If i click on a button then the button will call this particular function(method_webcam_trigger) and save the picture. The problem is that if i click on that button again then it wont work. if i click the button on second time then the execution will stop on below line.

cv2.imshow("Capturing", frame)

Can anybody help to solve this? Below is another link which i saw asking the same question, but did't find the answer. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2... Please help. Thankyou

you cannot open twice VideoCapture. Is Videocapture already opened?

@LBerger saying that you cannot open twice VideoCapture. Is Videocapture already opened. Look at what're you doing in function of method_webcam_trigger. Move webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(0) out of method_webcam_trigger, And put it on top of method_webcam_trigger.

By clicking button will not work. Youre doing wrong. I need to see your button click event code.

@berak. Listen to @LBerger. It will not work.

@Supra, apologies, you're right

@berak. No problem. I already done this before.

@LBerger@berak @ Supra Thanks for your comments. But the problem remains there. I tried to take out webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(0) outside the function. But still the same.

I noticed that you left out semi-colon in line 3. Also your're missing Trap/except. When you click button s, you didn't called method method_webcam_trigger(). As @berak said, by removing release was wrong. I also added waitKey for 10 seconds. But remember, by clicking button s, you saved filename saved_img.jpg. When you clicking buitton again, it asking you to save as. So click filename, you will add index...saved_img1.jpg, and so on.

@Tintuk Tomin . Your code is tricking. That was very nice. Before I posted answer in here I redo it and it saved 3000 filenames in cv2.waitKey(1650) seconds. But thanks.

You can also change one second if you like cv2.waitKey(1).

video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
count = 0

while True:

  print('oi')
  ret, frame = video_capture.read()
  small_frame = cv2.resize(frame, (0,0), fx=0.25, fy=0.25)

  rgb_small_frame = small_frame [:,:,::-1]

  face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(rgb_small_frame)
  face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb_small_frame, face_locations)

  face_labels = []
  for face_location, face_encoding in zip(face_locations, face_encodings):
    metadata = lookup_known_face(face_encoding, know_face_encodings, know_face_metadata)
    if metadata is not None:
      video_capture.release()
      cv2.destroyAllWindows()
      cv2.waitKey(10)
      return Response(metadata)

    else:
      return Response(False)
  cv2.imshow('Video', frame)
  key = cv2.waitKey(1)


  if count == 5:

    video_capture.release()
    cv2.waitKey(0)
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
    cv2.waitKey(1)
    return Response(False)

Had the same issue and cant solve it out, this is a signup script which works propoerly at the first time that i call it from my interface, but at a second time it just doesn't work at all. Any ideas @supra56

You destroy your camera when you save the image so obviously getting the bext frame fails.

If i dont destroy the camera the window will be there. It wont be closed and the webcam will work all the time. I need to start the webcam and take the the picture using the function call.
