dealing with video input from the camera

By ozieg on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 21:16

Hi.

is there a way to deal with the video stream recieved from the camera ?, i mean for example changing the colors of specific pixels in a frame recieved from the camera prior to sending it to the screen

thanks

Hi, it is definitely possible to access (and also edit) the pixels of the camera image;

for instance, you may want to have a look at the BackgroundTextureAccess sample, where a specific shader is used for rendering the videobackground texture in grayscale.

Hi Alesandro.

thanks for your reply.

i already know the 2 ways to mantioned in order to "edit" frames from the camera.

but the question is how can i send the frames i edited back to the screen (in order to see in real-time the edited video) ?

Hi, thanks for the clarifications.

The shader approach is not the only possible one;

Hi.

first, thanks for the fast reply..

i'll try to be more specific:

in the frames received from the camera i am currenty marking few pixels/ interest points, and i wish to see on screen in real-time if i am marking them correctly.

Those two approaches are the only possibilities that I can think of.
