found solution: you have to run as root.

you can also do -D WITH_IPP=OFF... it builds... seems to work... =|

I tried skype and i got same result. I clicked on "defaults" for the contrast and brightness and that did the trick. thank you =)

Okay. I found the problem. I played with contrast, brightness and other settings all you have to do is restore them to default values and camera should work again. It seems that if you change them with opencv it will store the values. =)

my opencv libraries and my compiler and my programs are x86... the driver for the camera is 64bits... do you think this is an issue?

okay i will downgrade gradually =/

also, i am not the only one having this problem: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.opencv/49824 http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?516721-Webcam-show-a-grey-screen-in-OpenCV-! http://code.opencv.org/issues/837 http://opencv-users.1802565.n2.nabble.com/Just-getting-started-here-blank-gray-screen-when-I-try-to-get-input-from-webcam-td5888457.html

same result. here is the generated test.jpg: i.imgur.com/tc4Ezu4.jpg and here is the "mat tmp": i.imgur.com/knFXqJw.jpg

No, it doesn't work. same result. =(

srcFrame.type() i get: 16

trying to capture video from my web cam only shows gray.

Using:
- Visual Studio 2012 - C++/Qt.
- Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision


this is what i get when i try to capture the frames:

the lines you see is my window curtains.


some code:

    //Opens the video device #0.
    cap = new VideoCapture(0);
    if (!cap->isOpened())
    {
        qDebug() << "Cannot open the video file" << endl;
        return;
    }

    cv::Mat srcFrame;
    //read a new frame from video.
    bool bSuccess = cap->read(srcFrame);
    if (!bSuccess)
    {
        qDebug() << "Cannot read a frame from video device." << endl;
        return;
    }

    scene->addPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(Mat2QImage(srcFrame), Qt::AutoColor));

QImage MainWindow::Mat2QImage(cv::Mat const& src)
{
     cv::Mat temp; // make the same cv::Mat
     cvtColor(src, temp,CV_BGR2RGB); // cvtColor Makes a copt, that what i need
     QImage dest((uchar*) temp.data, temp.cols, temp.rows, temp.step, QImage::Format_RGB888);
     QImage dest2(dest);
     dest2.detach(); // enforce deep copy
     return dest2;
}
