Hackage :: [Package]

repa-v4l2: Provides high-level access to webcams.

[ graphics, library, program ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

The current state is that the library provides a monad for grabbing images from a webcam under Linux. In the future, more functionality like image processing functions and other input devices may be added. If anyone wants to help, please contact me! It has been pointed out on haskell-cafe that the v4l2 package that is needed by this package is not (yet?) on hackage. Therefore this library is not building on hackage.

Readme for repa-v4l2-0.1.0.0

[back to package description] 
Provides high-level access to webcams for Haskell programs.

The current state is that the library provides a monad for
grabbing images from a webcam under Linux. In the future, more functionality like 
image processing functions and other input devices may be added.

Last time I checked, the v4l2 package was not on hackage, 
but it can be retrieved from here:
 https://gitorious.org/hsv4l2

For images, repa arrays are used. Therefore, all the repa goodness
can be used with the data. It should also be possible without too much hassle 
to write a function which gets the data into a different type of array,
if that is necessary.

Getting an image with a v4l webcam works like this:

> import Graphics.Webcam.Linux
> main = runCam (grab >>= saveBmp "my_image.bmp") (Webcam 0)
