Trying to capture QImage of video frame

Anjani

thank you for reply.I tried it but not working. I tried it after my clone frame syntax(in framegrabber.cpp file function present). Is that write position? I am new to Qt. I dont have much idea about it.

SGaist

Please be more precise. "Not working" doesn't say much. What are you getting ? A blank image ? A black image ? Funny colours ?

Anjani

@SGaist
ooh sorry for that. it still gives me .jpg image, where I want RGB data of image/frame.yet I am getting only the first frame all though I try to capture frame at any time.

SGaist

Aren't you getting a .png file ?

Anjani

yes i am getting .png but i want data in rgb format. because raw data format is only allowed on my frame buffer to display.

SGaist

You do realise that if you load your image again in a QImage, you'll get a RGB image ?

If you really want to save an RGB image then go for bitmap but beware, it's uncompressed.

Anjani

oh yes thank you. this will solve my problem partially. but what about new frame capture.? can you please help me out where I am lacking or what i am missing? why I am getting the same frame every time?If I'll get updated frame my task will be almost on final stage.please solve this.and again thank you.

SGaist

You always take the same image from the list, check that your counter increments properly and that you indeed update the list.

On a side note, you should pass const reference to QImage parameters. That will save useless copies.

Anjani

Thank you for reply and sorry for late response. Yes probably i am incrementing the counter properly. and sir I couldn't understand what you said about const reference to QImage parameter?

SGaist

Use: const QImage &image as parameter

Anjani

K let me try it
