Code provided in opencv/tests/camera.nim works fine but i have not found a way to get the image/frame data into a nim's sequence/array. It is my understanding that default arguments are width:640 ,height:480 , channels:3 resulting in 921600 bytes of data .But the length of data is not constant and is generally less than 921600 bytes.
According to the code openCV returns a pointer to the string data i.e of type cstring.
Extra code i used to access the raw data is like this:
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
var frame = queryFrame(capture)
var imgData = cast[seq[uint8]](toSeq($frame.imageData))
echo("len of imgData: ",imgData.len)
Shouldn't the data length be equal to 921600 for each frame??.
