// Webcam

include "opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp"

include "opencv2\imgproc\imgproc.hpp"

include "opencv\cv.h"

include <stdio.h>

define XRES 1280

define YRES 720

define WINDOWNAME "openCV USB-camera"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
// open camera:
CvCapture* capture = 0;
capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(-1);
if (!capture) {
    fprintf(stderr, "couldn't open Camera device");
    return -1;
}
// set resolution
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, XRES);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, YRES);
// grab and show frames:
IplImage *frame = cvQueryFrame(capture);
cvNamedWindow(WINDOWNAME, CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
while (frame != NULL) {
    int key = cvWaitKey(10);
    if (key == 27) break; // stop when ESC is pressed
    cvShowImage(WINDOWNAME, frame);
    frame = cvQueryFrame(capture);
}
// close camera:
cvReleaseCapture(&capture);
cvDestroyWindow(WINDOWNAME);

return 0;
