| Webcam problem: Im about to do a big installation where I’ll be using a webcam as feed in, then grabbing a few rows of pixels and do some smooth “water”/paint dripping effect from that data. But I have a big problem even before im getting into the “water”/paint dripping effect. Im currently working with a webcam class from Mirko. It works fin but slow, when I begin to do other form of calculations on wither the input image of buffer images, things are really dropping frames (we are talking something like 5 fps). So it’ll be the slowest installation ever. So guys, I need any help on a super super super fast webcam rutine and manipulation pixel rutine (guess im going for openGL on that part). So anyone have a good idea. Im currently using a standard Logitech ball webcam. If just the background manipulation of images and drawing lines could stay SUPER fast and smooth while the webcam feed comes in at 12fps or so, it would help greatly. Kind regards. Happy maxing. m.n.Larsen |
