I've built a new project using the file "lktdemo.cpp" provided in OpenCV folder. It builds successfully but when I run it, it uses the camera of my laptop. The camera of my laptop is ON but 'm unable to record the video as I don't understand its recording. How do I force it to read the video file? At what point, the changes should be made?
when I change the code in the following way, it displays a message that "could not initialize capturing"
Code:
#include "opencv2/video/tracking.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/videoio/videoio.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <ctype.h>
