Required Methods

Provided Methods

Opens a video file or a capturing device or an IP video stream for video capturing.

Parameters are same as the constructor VideoCapture(const String& filename, int apiPreference = CAP_ANY)

Returns

true if the file has been successfully opened

The method first calls VideoCapture::release to close the already opened file or camera.

C++ default parameters
  • api_preference: CAP_ANY

Opens a camera for video capturing

The params parameter allows to specify extra parameters encoded as pairs (paramId_1, paramValue_1, paramId_2, paramValue_2, ...). See cv::VideoCaptureProperties

Returns

true if the file has been successfully opened

The method first calls VideoCapture::release to close the already opened file or camera.

Opens a camera for video capturing

Parameters are same as the constructor VideoCapture(int index, int apiPreference = CAP_ANY)

Returns

true if the camera has been successfully opened.

The method first calls VideoCapture::release to close the already opened file or camera.

C++ default parameters
  • api_preference: CAP_ANY

Returns true if video capturing has been initialized already.

The params parameter allows to specify extra parameters encoded as pairs (paramId_1, paramValue_1, paramId_2, paramValue_2, ...). See cv::VideoCaptureProperties

Returns

true if the camera has been successfully opened.

The method first calls VideoCapture::release to close the already opened file or camera.

Closes video file or capturing device.

The method is automatically called by subsequent VideoCapture::open and by VideoCapture destructor.

The C function also deallocates memory and clears *capture pointer.

Grabs the next frame from video file or capturing device.

Returns

true (non-zero) in the case of success.

The method/function grabs the next frame from video file or camera and returns true (non-zero) in the case of success.

The primary use of the function is in multi-camera environments, especially when the cameras do not have hardware synchronization. That is, you call VideoCapture::grab() for each camera and after that call the slower method VideoCapture::retrieve() to decode and get frame from each camera. This way the overhead on demosaicing or motion jpeg decompression etc. is eliminated and the retrieved frames from different cameras will be closer in time.

Also, when a connected camera is multi-head (for example, a stereo camera or a Kinect device), the correct way of retrieving data from it is to call VideoCapture::grab() first and then call VideoCapture::retrieve() one or more times with different values of the channel parameter.

@ref tutorial_kinect_openni

Decodes and returns the grabbed video frame.

Parameters
  • image:[out] the video frame is returned here. If no frames has been grabbed the image will be empty.
  • flag: it could be a frame index or a driver specific flag
Returns

false if no frames has been grabbed

The method decodes and returns the just grabbed frame. If no frames has been grabbed (camera has been disconnected, or there are no more frames in video file), the method returns false and the function returns an empty image (with %cv::Mat, test it with Mat::empty()).

read()

Note: In @ref videoio_c “C API”, functions cvRetrieveFrame() and cv.RetrieveFrame() return image stored inside the video capturing structure. It is not allowed to modify or release the image! You can copy the frame using cvCloneImage and then do whatever you want with the copy.

C++ default parameters
  • flag: 0

Grabs, decodes and returns the next video frame.

Parameters
  • image:[out] the video frame is returned here. If no frames has been grabbed the image will be empty.
Returns

false if no frames has been grabbed

The method/function combines VideoCapture::grab() and VideoCapture::retrieve() in one call. This is the most convenient method for reading video files or capturing data from decode and returns the just grabbed frame. If no frames has been grabbed (camera has been disconnected, or there are no more frames in video file), the method returns false and the function returns empty image (with %cv::Mat, test it with Mat::empty()).

Note: In @ref videoio_c “C API”, functions cvRetrieveFrame() and cv.RetrieveFrame() return image stored inside the video capturing structure. It is not allowed to modify or release the image! You can copy the frame using cvCloneImage and then do whatever you want with the copy.

Sets a property in the VideoCapture.

Parameters
  • propId: Property identifier from cv::VideoCaptureProperties (eg. cv::CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC, cv::CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, …) or one from @ref videoio_flags_others
  • value: Value of the property.
Returns

true if the property is supported by backend used by the VideoCapture instance.

Note: Even if it returns true this doesn’t ensure that the property value has been accepted by the capture device. See note in VideoCapture::get()

Switches exceptions mode

methods raise exceptions if not successful instead of returning an error code

query if exception mode is active
