View 5 Repliesusing directshow to capture image from webcam. In my winform application, there was a tabcontrol which contains two tabpages. Tabpage1 contains a picturebox which shows the video from webcam, tabpage2 contains a button to capture the image. My problem is when I pressed the button on tabpage2, my saved image file is empty which has no picture inside.
The following is my code for GetImage:
Public Sub GetImage(ByRef bmp As Image, ByRef pbCtrl As PictureBox)

View 1 RepliesI need to show video in a picturebox, and when a button is pressed, capture the frame. I am making a desktop qr reader. I have the qr reader completed and working. my issue is my camera now. I would prefer something that actually works, and doesn't have severe memory leak issues, and doesn't throw an exception after it's first or second use. Would AviCap32 or Direct Show be better for what I want? Which would capture the image fastest, without causing exceptions? I tried using an open source solution called webcam_capture.dll, and it worked at first, but now I am getting an exception that I dont know how to fix. I'm assuming this goes in vbGeneral, and not the Interop and Upgrade. Most examples I have seen, use interop, so I wasn't sure. I would prefer not to use WIA. I have attempted it, and it doesn't work quite right on my computer, and this application will be distributed.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to capture an image from my webcam and save it as a .bmp file. the code i have works perfectly except for 1 issue i cant figure out no matter what I try the issue is that when i save the bitmap it only saves in 320x240 resolution even though I have set the resolution to 640x480 everywhere I could think of.
here is the (edited) code I currently have. some places I didn't know what to change so I put in 640,480 anyways to see what happened but that didnt make any difference and also didnt cause any errors so i left the changes there.
Const WM_CAP As Short = &H400S
Const WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT As Integer = WM_CAP + 10
Const WM_CAP_DRIVER_DISCONNECT As Integer = WM_CAP + 11
Const WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY As Integer = WM_CAP + 30

View 2 Replieshow to capture and save still image through webcam in vb 2010
View 4 RepliesWhile I have got some leads from an older SO post and from this site, I haven't been able to figure out how to capture each frame of a web-cam.
What I would like to do is something like this capture a frame then do some image processing on it and display the output and then move on to the next frame.
Can I can access to web-cam frame events or is there any efficient way to achieve this?
currently, im using a webcam in my thesis. one of my objective is to have a realtime camera that can record/capture a video at the same time can capture image. i dont know how to code it in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI tried to code using WIA, and it is working fine.But when I tried my codes under Win 7 OS, it failed to capture.It seems that it is only working on XP. I also tried some code sample found here. And still failed under win7.Is there any good link where I can get some info to work with regarding to web cam capture...I tried also Avicap.dll?
View 1 RepliesI'm building .NET application that uses DirectX API for web camera device I'm using DirectShowNet Library .
i want to capture the image when user clicks the snapshot button available on webcam.and then dispaly the image in picture box.pls help me out iam stuck with this issue.
After a long while I started a project in VB.Net. I am making a security cam application for my own room. What I have done so far is capturing image from webcam (15 fps) to a imagebox and copying a still image from that imagebox to another in an intervall I have decided. Afterwards my code saves the image with a date and time as jpg. The code for capturing image I have found in this forum (iCam). My problem is (by the way I am an amateur programmer ) that the first imagebox (for realtime image capture) is not being showed (I dont want to see it). But if it is not active then all still images (saved as jpg) are all black. I think it is a drawing issue. I think imagebox is not being drawn (because it is not visible (actually the form is not visible)) and that is why still images are black. But I really don't know how to fix it? The class for capturing still images is very useful but only works with an imagebox.
(I really tried to understand the code. Especially the function, which copies a still image from 15 fps webcam output to a imagebox (which is used to save image as jpg file). But there are objects like: IntPtr, Hdc (getHdc, releaseHdc) and BitBlt. I really don't know anything about those objects.)
Code of iCam:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class iCam
#Region "Api/constants"
[CODE]...
I get realtime images with: iCam.initcam(me.picturebox1.handle.int32) and copy with: picturebox2.image= iCam.copyimage(picturebox1,New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.picturebox1.Width, Me.picturebox1.Height))

View 6 RepliesI'm currently working on a project which is basically Server-Client based. Client is standalone VB executable file and Server is web based.The program is supposed to use webcam as video capture device, stream video footages to server (on website - live feed) and allows users to manually save captured videos into their computer.Thats basically the brief description of my system. I'm starting off working with VB right now and website after I'm done with VB.I'm new to VB, this would be my 1st project on it. I've looked for available sources online and found several VB apps which lets me capture image file through my webcam. Also on MSDN forum, i found recommendations on using "DCAM Server" to stream videos on website but I'm still not sure of how to configure the settings to make it work properly, and of course, don't have a proper website for it to work with yet atm. Also realise I'll need to integrate some .dll files or activeX functions to use video capture function. I don't really know how to use these yet rite now.

Note, the API methods work however I can only get it to work if I paint it onto a form or picture box. I don't want any forms or picture boxes. I just want .Net code to grab a picture with the web cam and save to file.

View 1 RepliesI am making a webcam capture program in vb.net to scan qr codes. I found some examples that show tracking a certain color, but that wont work because the qr codes have different colors. some are red, blue, purple, black, and green. I am using the touchless sdk to capture the video. How would I go about tracking the person's hand holding a 1"x1" cube? I am trying to reduce the "background noise" that the scanner has to try to read through.

So like I said before, I have a webcam capture and inventory script which I put together from various sample code. It works great, but I need to add a preview pause/ to break apart the capture and the save functions.

I'm trying to save a screen-shot from a FlowLayoutPanel without the desired success. Here's the code I'm using to same the panel as image:
vb.net
Dim bmpScreenshot As Bitmap = New Bitmap(FlowLayoutPanel1.DisplayRectangle.Width, FlowLayoutPanel1.DisplayRectangle.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
Dim gfxScreenshot As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot)
gfxScreenshot.CopyFromScreen(Me.PointToScreen(SplitContainer1.Location), New Point(0, 0), FlowLayoutPanel1.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
bmpScreenshot.Save("C:FlowLayoutPanel1.Emf", ImageFormat.Emf)
Problem is, when the panel is full of controls and using scrollbars the hidden controls are not captured, since I'm using the CopyFromScreen().
I want a code that will be usefull to make a program that opens the video camra of the PC and saves the camera sight (or images capture).
