OpenCV on Mac is not opening USB web camera
Try to run your code without this line: break;
. Probably you will find more than just one camera, and one of them will WebCam.
Note that parameter of cap.open
is not only the number of camera - it also defines which API you want to use:
Camera dispatching method: index
is the camera number.
- If given an index from 0 to 99, it tries to find the first
- API that can access a given camera index.
- Add multiples of 100 to select an API (comment from cap.cpp)
Possibilities (taken from highgui_c.h):
CV_CAP_ANY =0, // autodetect
CV_CAP_MIL =100, // MIL proprietary drivers
CV_CAP_VFW =200, // platform native
CV_CAP_V4L =200,
CV_CAP_V4L2 =200,
CV_CAP_FIREWARE =300, // IEEE 1394 drivers
CV_CAP_FIREWIRE =300,
CV_CAP_IEEE1394 =300,
CV_CAP_DC1394 =300,
CV_CAP_CMU1394 =300,
CV_CAP_STEREO =400, // TYZX proprietary drivers
CV_CAP_TYZX =400,
CV_TYZX_LEFT =400,
CV_TYZX_RIGHT =401,
CV_TYZX_COLOR =402,
CV_TYZX_Z =403,
CV_CAP_QT =500, // QuickTime
CV_CAP_UNICAP =600, // Unicap drivers
CV_CAP_DSHOW =700, // DirectShow (via videoInput)
CV_CAP_PVAPI =800, // PvAPI, Prosilica GigE SDK
CV_CAP_OPENNI =900, // OpenNI (for Kinect)
CV_CAP_OPENNI_ASUS =910, // OpenNI (for Asus Xtion)
CV_CAP_ANDROID =1000, // Android
CV_CAP_XIAPI =1100, // XIMEA Camera API
CV_CAP_AVFOUNDATION = 1200 // AVFoundation framework for iOS (OS X Lion will have the same API)
Probably CV_CAP_AVFOUNDATION = 1200
is what you are looking for - try to start you loop from 1200 and don't forget to remove break;
and I think that you will find what you are looking for.
