Hello,

I cant seem to capture frames from the Ps3eye through the following

frameCam = captureFrame.QueryFrame();

it just gives me some error that its unable to capture from cam 0. I went through the c# example provided and tried to put some stuff together. It started to capture but its showing me weird stuff. Below are my codes.

  public Form1()
      {
        InitializeComponent();
        framePtr = CLEyeCreateCamera(CameraUUID(0), CLEyeCameraColorMode.CLEYE_COLOR_RAW,  CLEyeCameraResolution.CLEYE_QVGA, 30);
        CLEyeCameraGetFrameDimensions(framePtr, ref w, ref h);
        CLEyeCameraStart(framePtr);
        _ptrBmpPixels = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(640 * 480);
       
      }

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        CLEyeCameraGetFrame(framePtr, _ptrBmpPixels, 500)
        Bitmap bmpGraph = new Bitmap(w, h, w, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb, _ptrBmpPixels);
        pictureBox1.Image = bmpGrap;
}

May i know the simplest way to just capture and display ? also can i capture and store it in Image class object ? thanks

Hi,

I think that you´ve to take into account that EmguCV works internally with the IplImage Format of OpenCV while calling the QueryFrame. I´m not really sure but I think while using EmguCV´s QueryFrame you won´t address the CLEye Driver, it will capture the cam´s images with the build-in generic cam driver of opencv.
So the image retrieved is not a bmp. Instead of this it has it´s own BGR Color order in the IplImage format instead of RGB. So you need to take this into account while marshalling, you´ll need a stride for that.

Sadly I´m not that far into C# and the WPF´s. I´m currently working on an integration of some EmguCV functions within XNA.

hi,
Can anyone tell me how to get data from kinect in emgu CV compatible format.
the IntPtr of NUIImage showns a blank when i cast it to emgu.CV.Image.

Thanks.
