Revision history [back]

Hello everybody,

I've got a code where I show a video from a camera, but now I want to take a snapshot when a key is pressed, but I don't know exactly what function I need to use and how. Could anyone help me please?

Thanks. I post my code.

int main( ) {

  VideoCapture vcap;
  const std::string VideoStreamAddress ="rtsp://192.168.1.10/MediaInput/mpeg4";

  if (!vcap.open(VideoStreamAddress)) {
    std::cout << "Error abriendo stream de video o archivo" << std::endl;
    return 0;
  }
  while (true) {
            if (!vcap.read(image)) {
            std::cout << "No frame" << std::endl;
            cv::waitKey();
            }
            imshow("original", image);

            if (waitKey(1) >= 0){
                            //TAKE A PHOTO
            TakePhoto();
              }
    }
     return 0;

}

}Hi again, The code to take snapshots it works fine, I can take a photo when a key is pressed, but now I'm trying to recognize text in that photo using tesseract engine and I'm having an error like this:

            imwrite( format("foto_%3d.png",cuenta++), image); //take snapshot when key is pressed

            // initilize tesseract OCR engine
                 tesseract::TessBaseAPI *myOCR = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();

                 if (myOCR->Init(NULL, "spa")) {
                          fprintf( stderr, " Could not intialize tesseract.\n" );
                          exit(1);
                 }

                // read image
                  namedWindow("tesseract-opencv", 0);
                  Mat imagen = imread(format("/home/adrian/workspace/foto_%3d.png",cuenta), 0);

                // set region of interest (ROI), i.e. regions that contain text
                  Rect text1ROI(162, 110, 157 , 129);

                // recognize text
                   myOCR->TesseractRect( imagen.data, 1, imagen.step1(), text1ROI.x, text1ROI.y, text1ROI.width, text1ROI.height);
                   const char *text1 = myOCR->GetUTF8Text();

                // remove "newline"
                   string t1(text1);
                   t1.erase( std::remove(t1.begin(), t1.end(), '\n'), t1.end() );

                // print found text
                   printf("text: \n");
                   printf( "%s",t1.c_str() );
                   printf("\n");

Hi again, The code to take snapshots it works fine, I can take a photo when a key is pressed, but now I'm trying to recognize text in that photo using tesseract engine and I'm having an error like this:

Error: Illegal min or max specification! signal_termination_handler:Error:Signal_termination_handler called:Code 5002

I've only just added the code for text recognition within the waitkey if as follows:

if (waitKey(10) >= 0){

            imwrite( format("foto_%3d.png",cuenta++), image); //take snapshot when key is pressed

            // initilize tesseract OCR engine
                 tesseract::TessBaseAPI *myOCR = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();

                 if (myOCR->Init(NULL, "spa")) {
                          fprintf( stderr, " Could not intialize tesseract.\n" );
                          exit(1);
                 }

                // read image
                  namedWindow("tesseract-opencv", 0);
                  Mat imagen = imread(format("/home/adrian/workspace/foto_%3d.png",cuenta), 0);

                // set region of interest (ROI), i.e. regions that contain text
                  Rect text1ROI(162, 110, 157 , 129);

                // recognize text
                   myOCR->TesseractRect( imagen.data, 1, imagen.step1(), text1ROI.x, text1ROI.y, text1ROI.width, text1ROI.height);
                   const char *text1 = myOCR->GetUTF8Text();

                // remove "newline"
                   string t1(text1);
                   t1.erase( std::remove(t1.begin(), t1.end(), '\n'), t1.end() );

                // print found text
                   printf("text: \n");
                   printf( "%s",t1.c_str() );
                   printf("\n");
        }
