Interface between OpenCamera and OpenCV or another desktop program? #79

Open Nestak2 opened 5 years ago

Nestak2 commented 5 years ago

Is there an interface between OpenCamera and OpenCV or another desktop program? My goal is to be able to control the camera of the phone from a computer (Mac or Windows), preferably using python as a language. Main task: the computer should tell OpenCamera to take images every N seconds and an external light source to change a light every M seconds. What I have been doing so far is to use another Android app, DroidCam, that turns your phone camera into a virtual webcam and then I used a Matlab script to control the webcam. But DroidCam has many limitations and I would prefer to have an interface with OpenCamera. So, is there a way to create such an interface? Would it work with OpenCV or another python package? Thanks
