Revision history [back]

Hi, I have just started to use openCV and I am very new to image/video processing and stitching so please bear with me while I explain what I am trying to accomplish.

1. I plan to purchase 3 HERO5 Black and connect them to a PC via HDMI
2. For this I plan to use the following Capture Card, http://www.magewell.com/pro-capture-quad-hdmi
3. I plan to buy a late NVIDIA Graphic Card for processing the images
4. The cameras position/angle between each other will be fixed

I would like to use openCV and preferably python to stitch real-time videos from these cameras into one video.

So first of all, I must start by asking

• Is the hardware I plan to purchase sufficient to solve the task?
• Does OpenCV support reading video feed from this capture card/HDMI input?
• Should I focus on using Linux or Windows, what platform is better supported by OpenCV? (hopefully not MAC)
• Where/How should I start with the programming? Are there simple OpenCV examples for reading HDMI feed and stitching out there as I believe someone else has already tried to solve this problem? I found the following link, but the project is too complicated for me to start with directly, https://github.com/lukeyeager/StitcHD (this seems to difficult to start with)

Any help is appreciated.

4. The cameras position/angle between each other will be fixed.The cameras will be moving with respect to the world, so the scene will be changing.
