I was looking for a basic python program which will display webcam feed using OpenCV and PyOpenGL. I did some searches, and came up with a code posted in stackoverflow
import cv2
from OpenGL.GL import *
from OpenGL.GLU import *
from OpenGL.GLUT import *
import numpy as np
import sys
#window dimensions
width = 1280
height = 720
nRange = 1.0
global capture
capture = None
def cv2array(im):
h,w,c=im.shape
a = np.fromstring(
im.tostring(),
dtype=im.dtype,
count=w*h*c)
a.shape = (h,w,c)
return a
def init():
#glclearcolor (r, g, b, alpha)
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
glutDisplayFunc(display)
glutReshapeFunc(reshape)
glutKeyboardFunc(keyboard)
glutIdleFunc(idle)
def idle():
#capture next frame
global capture
_,image = capture.read()
cv2.cvtColor(image,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
#you must convert the image to array for glTexImage2D to work
#maybe there is a faster way that I don't know about yet...
#print image_arr
# Create Texture
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D,
0,
GL_RGB,
720,1280,
0,
GL_RGB,
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
image)
cv2.imshow('frame',image)
glutPostRedisplay()
def display():
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
#glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT)
#glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT)
#glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_DECAL)
#this one is necessary with texture2d for some reason
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST)
# Set Projection Matrix
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION)
glLoadIdentity()
gluOrtho2D(0, width, 0, height)
# Switch to Model View Matrix
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW)
glLoadIdentity()
# Draw textured Quads
glBegin(GL_QUADS)
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0)
glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0)
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0)
glVertex2f(width, 0.0)
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0)
glVertex2f(width, height)
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0)
glVertex2f(0.0, height)
glEnd()
glFlush()
glutSwapBuffers()
def reshape(w, h):
if h == 0:
h = 1
glViewport(0, 0, w, h)
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION)
glLoadIdentity()
# allows for reshaping the window without distoring shape
if w <= h:
glOrtho(-nRange, nRange, -nRange*h/w, nRange*h/w, -nRange, nRange)
else:
glOrtho(-nRange*w/h, nRange*w/h, -nRange, nRange, -nRange, nRange)
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW)
glLoadIdentity()
def keyboard(key, x, y):
global anim
if key == chr(27):
sys.exit()
def main():
global capture
#start openCV capturefromCAM
capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
print capture
capture.set(3,1280)
capture.set(4,720)
glutInit(sys.argv)
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH)
glutInitWindowSize(width, height)
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100)
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL + OpenCV")
init()
glutMainLoop()
main()
What i'm trying to do is to use OpenGL to display the camera-feed (in full screen) instead of cv2.imshow. I have a hope that it might be faster than imshow.
Can anyone please explain to me display, reshape and idle functions also i cant run this code because it expects some argument which i still cant figure out.
