Common code for Android, iOS, Windows to reading Video Frame from QML Camera to C++

Chetana K M

Hello,

I had tried reading video frame for Android using QVideoProbe class (works only for Android Camera) and for Windows using QAbstractVideoSurface (works only for Windows. In Windows i could not able to see viewFinder area while capturing image/video using QCamera. For windows i am using QAbstractVideoSurface object as viewFinder for QCamera) Now i need to try with iOS.

Actually my requirement is to read Video Frame from QML Camera and use that frame for processing at C++.

Is there a way to do this so that i can use same piece of code for all these platforms (iOS, Windows, Android, Linux)?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I haven't used that class but doesn't QVideoFilterRunnable do what you want ?

Hope it helps

Hi @Chetana-K-M
So you want to do something like this program (read a QR code with the camera and process the QR code with a C++ library)?
https://github.com/a-team-fr/MeetupMobileQtQml/tree/master/160229/DemoProject

In that example the image is grabbed in main.qml in the Timer (lines 22-30)

    Timer{
        interval:1000
        triggeredOnStart: false
        onTriggered: viewfinder.grabToImage(function (result) {
            controler.decodeQMLImage(result);
        });
        running:true//overlay.decodeImage
        repeat:true
    }

It is a nicely done example that I know runs on desktop Windows and Android. I don't have an iOS device or a mac to test on.
