Threads in PyQt and opencv
-
i have a code in python ,
and it has 5 buttons ,
and when each button clicks i want to access the webcam ,
and get frames from it and do some things on the webcam frames(each button performs diffrient things on the webcam frame)the problem is that when first button gets the webcam on a separate THREAD
when i click other buttons , they can't access the Webcam ,
how can i notify the that thread to releases the Webcam for others

Hi
you could send a signal to the tread via the normal signal & slots?
Or is the thread not a Qt thread but a openCV one? -

What if you just have only one method/thread to access the webcam, independent on which button is actually pressed, and when the image is captured then pass that image to the specific processing method/thread depending on the button/effect pressed.
This way you'll avoid the bottleneck of "sharing" the webcam among threads
