Question

I’ve seen from the sample how to display an image from the webcam, but how do I get the image captured as an array?

import cv

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)
img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)

img.tostring() gives me weird caracters.
Thanks in adv.

Answer 1

I think this is what you’re looking for:

img=cv.LoadImage("asd.png")
mat=cv.GetMat(img)
mat[3,1]
(83.0, 88.0, 89.0)

anyway, you should check opencv python cookbook for use with PIL and NUMPY packages.
