Got an error when tried to capture from Usb Camera
My set up:
Python 3.6
Windows10
Opencv 3.4 .1.14
3.4.1.14
My test code:
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
ret, image = cap.read()
if not ret:
break
cv2.imshow("test", image)
cv2.waitKey(1)
When I run this code, It can only capture the first frame from the camera, but the frame is black. It can not capture from the second frame.
This code worked perfectly if I use a video file instead.
print(cv2.getBuildInformation()) give this result:
