In this post we will access the camera of laptop or any webcam using opencv and produce live video stream. I am using opencv 2.1 with CodeBlocks IDE on Ubuntu 11.04. If you want help in installation and configurations, then refer here.
We will create a window using highgui, capture steam form webcam using cvCaptureFromCAM and convert it to image frames using IplImage. Compile and run the following code to get live stream from your webcam.
