Use QtMultimedia camera support instead of OpenCV in Qt5 #299

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Qt5 supports Webcam out of the box, so we should use it for the webcam plugin 
instead of havind a dependency to OpenCV, handled individually on all platforms.

Link to example:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtmultimedia/multimediawidgets-camera.html

Only drawback is: There is no face detection in QtMultimedia. So we have to 
decide wether we drop it, or keep OpenCV

Everything works with OpenCV for all OS.
1) What will be the plus of using the Qt5 multimedia lib ?
2) How to manage Linux distro with Qt4.x versions ?

May be we can focus our efforts on the missing 'basics features'...

Yes, your're right. Maybe we'll keep this for some time in mind when Qt5 is the 
mainstream and Qt4 gone.

Just was an idea, but right, we should concentrate on basic things.
