I’m working on a home project that involves comparing images to a database of images (using a quadrant – or so – histogram approach). I wanted to know what my options are in regards to web cams or other image capture devices that:

  • Are easy to work with with the Windows SDK (particularly DirectShow, which I plan to use with C#)
  • Have drivers for both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows Vista (and Server 2008)

I’m asking primarily so I can avoid pitfalls that other people may have experienced with web cams and to see if there are other image capture devices (or C# usable APIs) available that I should look at. I suspect that any old web cam will do but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
