Enumeration Type Documentation

VideoCaptureAPIs

enum cv::VideoCaptureAPIs

VideoCapture API backends identifier.

Select preferred API for a capture object. To be used in the VideoCapture::VideoCapture() constructor or VideoCapture::open()

VideoCaptureModes

enum cv::VideoCaptureModes

Generic camera output modes identifier.

Note

Currently, these are supported through the libv4l backend only.

Enumerator
CAP_MODE_BGR	BGR24 (default)
CAP_MODE_RGB	RGB24.
CAP_MODE_GRAY	Y8.
CAP_MODE_YUYV	YUYV.

VideoCaptureProperties

enum cv::VideoCaptureProperties

VideoCapture generic properties identifier.

Reading / writing properties involves many layers. Some unexpected result might happens along this chain. Effective behaviour depends from device hardware, driver and API Backend.
