Camera visualization GUI.

Synopsis

Playercam is a gui client that displays images captured from a player camera and/or blobfinder device.

Usage

playercam is installed alongside player in $prefix/bin, so if player is in your PATH, then playercam should also be. Command-line usage is:

$ playercam [options]

Where [options] can be:

• -help : print this message
• -h <hostname> : host that is running player
• -p <port> : the port number of the host
• -i <index> : the index of the camera
• -b <index> : the index of the blobfinder
• -r <rate> : the refresh rate of the video

For example, to connect to Player on localhost at the default port (6665), and subscribe to the 1st camera device:

$ playercam -i=1

Features

playercam can visualize data from devices that support the following colorspaces:

• PLAYER_CAMERA_FORMAT_MONO8
• PLAYER_CAMERA_FORMAT_MONO16
• PLAYER_CAMERA_FORMAT_RGB888

Any time a user clicks on the image display, the pixel location and color value at that place will be written to standard out.

Todo:

• add additional vision feedback abilities w/ opencv (directional histogram)
