Below code works fine, until

 VideoCapture cap_cam1(0);
 Mat img_cam1;

while(true)
{
            cap_cam1 >> img_cam1;

            if (img_cam1.empty() || !cap_cam1.isOpened())
            {                               
                cap_cam1.release();  
                 break;                 
            }

            else {        
                 imshow("Live",img_cam1); 
                if (!img_cam1.isContinuous())
                   break;
                 img_cam1.empty();              
                 img_cam1.release();

                 if(waitKey(33)==27) break; 
            }
    }

USB camera is removed while program is running. After disconnecting USB camera i see a blank image, but program should stop because img_cam1.empty() is true and !cap_cam1.isOpened() is also true. for some reasons both are false! why is it? how to stop the program when USB camera is removed?

Try using the .read() function, instead of the operator. It returns true if it was successful in reading a new frame.

I'm not sure why it isn't working, but hopefully this can help.
