Hello, I am trying out some projects to learn how to program and in addition gain some knowledge about computer vision. I am currently in the stage of setting up the stereo vision but am only getting one capture window... the code is below. I want two windows open with a recording from the different camera. Any help is appreciated!!

#include "opencv\cv.h";
#include "opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp";
#include "opencv2\imgproc\imgproc.hpp";

#include <iostream>;

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;



int main()
{
    VideoCapture stream1(0); //camera 1
    VideoCapture stream2(1); // camera 2

    if (!stream1.isOpened()) { //check if video device 0 has been initialised
        cout << "cannot open camera";
    };

    if (!stream2.isOpened()) { //check if video device 1 has been initialised
        cout << "cannot open camera";
    };


    for (;;){
        Mat cameraFrame1;
        Mat cameraFrame2;

        stream1.read(cameraFrame1);
        stream2.read(cameraFrame2);

        imshow("RedCamera 1", cameraFrame1);
        imshow("BlackCamera 2", cameraFrame2);

        if (waitKey(30) >= 0) break;

    }
    return 0;

}

please triple-check the opencv libs your program is linking. do not use debug libs with a release build, or the other way round.

"gibberrish" strings are mostly a result of linking to different models of the c++stdlib.

yes you are right berak... I added the files to a global property sheet and not to the debug sheet... have fixed issue and works perfect... Thank you for getting me pointed in the right direction!!!!

Hi Ninja,

try to initialize named windows first

(...)

cv::namedWindow("RedCamera"); cv::namedWindow("BlackCamera");

for (;;){

(...)

cv::imshow("RedCamera", cameraFrame1); cv::imshow("BlackCamera", cameraFrame2);

(...)

Thanks for the response... I tried the code you posted and it did not work. A small blank screen did appear and then another one with the stream from camera2. It seems like it dumps the image from camera 1 and does not hold on to it. BTW the name on the window was gibberish and has been that way for all my applications...

looks like I had lib files in a global property sheet instead of a local one... code runs!!! thanks for all the help!
