No FPS change when using MJPEG format
Hi, I'm using See3CAM_130 camera and it's rated for capturing 3840x2160 @15 fps as UYVY format and @30 fps as MJPEG format.
Initially I was using the default format(UYVY) for capturing frames and I could get average 15 FPS. Later on I tried to capture as MJPEG format because of higher FPS. So I've added the line
capture.set(cv::CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv::VideoWriter::fourcc('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'));
But the FPS is still averages about 15 FPS for 3840x2160. Do I need to add anything else to increase my FPS using MJPEG?
My code:
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
cv::VideoCapture capture(0 + cv::CAP_DSHOW);
if (!capture.isOpened())
{
std::cout << "Problem connecting to cam " << std::endl;
return -1;
}
else
if (argc == 1)
{
std::cout << "Successfuly connected to camera " << std::endl;
capture.set(cv::CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv::VideoWriter::fourcc('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'));
int ex = (int)capture.get(cv::CAP_PROP_FOURCC);
char EXT[] = { (char)(ex & 0XFF),(char)((ex & 0XFF00) >> 8),(char)((ex & 0XFF0000) >> 16),(char)((ex & 0XFF000000) >> 24),0 };
std::cout << "CAP_PROP_FOURCC: " << EXT << std::endl;
capture.set(cv::CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 3840);
capture.set(cv::CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 2160);
}
int frameCounter = 0;
int tick = 0;
int fps;
std::time_t timeBegin = std::time(0);
cv::Mat frame;
while (1)
{
capture.read(frame);
if (frame.empty())
{
break;
}
frameCounter++;
std::time_t timeNow = std::time(0) - timeBegin;
if (timeNow - tick >= 1)
{
tick++;
fps = frameCounter;
frameCounter = 0;
}
cv::putText(frame, cv::format("Average FPS=%d", fps), cv::Point(30, 30), cv::FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.8, cv::Scalar(0, 0, 255));
cv::imshow("FPS test", frame);
cv::waitKey(1);
}
return 0;
}
please check the return value from
capture.set()
setting the fourcc is probably not supportedFor
capture.set(cv::CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv::VideoWriter::fourcc('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'));
it retuned 1 and I also verified whether MJPG is set or not by usingcapture.get(cv::CAP_PROP_FOURCC);
