OpenCV - video capture lag and delay

Hi,

I’ve run into some issues with openCV sample program (starter_video.cpp) / Angstrom linux.

When I connect web camera and start this app, captured video being displayed on screen is lagging and much slower than simple Cheese video capture application…

Has anyone had such experience… ?
Any help is greatly appreciated…

Hi,

I’ve had similar issues. I had to capture multiple frames to get a recent one but that impacted framerate pretty badly.

Please post up if you figure out a solution.

Cheers,
Peter

You can use a different capture mechanism. I compiled the uvccapture and it runs like a cham.
