Webcam snapshot to jpeg

I want to take a singel frame snapshot of a webcam image,
which is streaming to a server, and send it to a JSP server and
make it a JPEG. How can I do it? Isn't there a simple way? With few
lines of code? To make a byte array, perhaps and send it through
http?

In photoshop see if File>Scripts>Image Processor works.

  • Capture webcam snapshot as bitmap and send to server

    I have a local webcam stream appearing on the stage in a
    movieclip.
    When I click a "snapshot button", a still image from the
    webcam gets attached to a new movieclip on the stage with
    attachbitmap and then draw()
    The snapshot shows up in the movieclip on the stage as a
    preview.
    I want to know how to send the data of this bitmap in the
    movieclip to a server (php or coldfusion) to be saved as a JPEG.
    I can't figure out how to access the bmp data and send it to
    a server... any answers?

    Hello jspoon27,
    I am working on a locally run flash application that is very
    similar to your post about wanting to save a snapshot of a local
    webcam. Could you share your code for doing that or explain your
    steps? I would like to have a webcam running then take a snapshot
    of the webcam with a button and then email the saved snapshot. My
    main interest is how you created the snapshot and button for it.
    Thank you,

  • Here is the source code to JMF Webcam app + saves jpeg

    Since so many people ask for this code, but never get it, I figured I'd repost it. I didn't write it, but I added the jpeg saving part, and modified it for my device, which you will have to do to get it to work. Just go into JMFRegistry and get the device name from your webcam and then edit the code. Also, keep in mind that some webcams don't work with JMF. You have to have a webcam that supports VFW or WDM interface.

    Hi William,
    I've tried this code but I always get an null fgc with the following line.
    FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl)player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingCotrol");
    So the player returns always null. The other thigns seem to be fine. I can view the image in the application but when I click capture it throws a Null Pointer Exception because fgc is null.
    I am using Logitech QuickCam, USB, Win2k, jdk 1.3.1, JMF 2.1.1
    Can you help me?
    thanx,

  • Webcam snapshot tutorial

    I did this tutorial
    www.macromedia.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=webcam%20snapshot%20tutorial
    part 1 works fine, I see the webcam and it works. Now all I
    need is to make a snapshot, however it just doens't work, altough I
    tried everything that it says there...
    just download the Fla file, publish it and click on the black
    button, nothing happens, altough it's setup like in the tutorial
    www.raffael3d.com/webcam_snap.fla
    any idea what I did wrong?? thanks!!

    I'm having the same trouble - following
    FlashGuru's
    Tutorial.
    I have the webcam feed working fine. On one frame I put the
    code and i have defined a movieclip with the name snap_btn. It
    creates the blank bitmap but won't fill it with the image. I don't
    think the button works either.
    anybody help?

  • Webcam snapshot in flash

    I'm mildly familiar with action script. I would like to take
    a snapshot from the local webcam and have a preview of the captured
    image on the stage, and then upload the captured image to a
    ColdFusion server to be saved as a jpg.
    After searching online I've found many examples but none of
    them work for me. At this time I can only show webcam on the stage.
    Could someone help? Thanks in advance!

    There is currently a problem (internal bug #2589240) where webcam resolution cannot be increased beyond 320x240 on linux.  We're hoping to address this in a future release.  Please feel free to ping me with status updates in the future either on this thread or at [email protected]
    Thanks,

    Ps. This also effects AIR applications.

  • Webcam SnapShot button click event

    Hello,
    I want to know if there is an ActionEvent or EventListener or something
    like that for the snapshot button on a webcam, such that when I press the
    button on the webcam, JMF executes a chunk of code, just like it would if I
    had pressed a mouse button, or a key on the keyboard.
    I am currently using creative webcam nx ultra...
    Appreciate the help,

    Hi there,
    I have the exact same problem. I am pretty sure Java will not provide such event support, unless digging the jUSB/JSR-80 stuff. I actually had a quick look at that and I am not even sure what to expect from it.
    In any case, if you found any way to receive the snpashot button events (or any workaround), I'd be happy to hear from it!
    Cheers.

  • WEBCAM SNAPSHOT PROBLEM!!

    Everytime I try to take a picture, an old snapshot keeps appearing. It refuses to save my new picture.? basically all the pictures I take on my webcam saves as this old snapshot!!! Anyone can help??!!

    Just remove the "IMAQ Dispose" and it will certainly work better.
    What flows in the image wire is ot the actual image data, but a pointer to the image, so the display on the front panel receives the pointer and go get the image data to display it.
    The issue in the VI you posted is that you don't really know when the "IMAQ dispose" will execute, so if if it executes after the "IMAQ create image", the image buffer is released and there is no image data to be displayed.
    Hope this helps
    When my feet touch the ground each morning the devil thinks "bloody hell... He's up again!"

  • Webcam Stream (External JPEG)

    Hi, I'm designing a website aiming to provide visual coverage
    of surfing locations across the UK through the use of webcam
    images. Each of the images themselves will be retrieved externally,
    with permission, from various hotels over-looking these locations.
    I have spoken to someone who has completed a similar project,
    a widget which retrieves and displays webcam images, which can be
    viewed here:
    http://www.ukbiketrails.co.uk/ukss/weCams.php
    I would like to use the same method. Explained in his own
    words:
    'The feeds you see in the widget are simply JPEG images
    hosted on the originating website, so none of the feeds are handled
    by myself. The widget sends a HTTP request for the JPEG and
    displays what it gets in the widget.'
    As you can tell from the link url, he's used PHP, which I
    have been learning.
    I have lost contact with him recently and not sure the steps
    I should take to integrate such a feature into my website. Please
    help.

    Any help is much appreciated

  • Saving webcam video off internet

    This is really an OS9 question but i'm also wondering about OSX: does anyone have/know of a handy Applescript that will periodically (e.g. every 30 seconds) save a webcam's image to your local hard drive..? Preferably, this will happen without any hard disk usage as the program may be running for many hours or days at a time. I plan to capture to RAMdisk. I previously posted this question here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2520186&tstart=0
    Thanks!

    WELL, once again i've had to take off the gloves and solve my own problem. I post the result here for OS 9 users (Taylor henderson's script up above does nothing in OS9 except generate errors).
    The following script will capture a webcam image off the internet every 30 secs and save it to RAMdisk, with sequential filenaming, and with NO hard disk usage whatsoever for the duration. This is the first program i've written in a few years, and i have to say it's pretty slick, complete with error handling.
    set framenum to 10001 as integer
    repeat 10 times (* divided by 2 gives you number of minutes you'll capture *)
    set currentnum to framenum as string
    try
    set filo_namo to file ("RAMdisk:" & currentnum & ".jpg") as file specification
    tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download ¬
    "http://www.topnews.in/files/isla-fisher.jpg" to filo_namo
    end try
    set framenum to framenum + 1
    delay 28 (* results in a capture cycle of about 30 sec *)
    end repeat
    Obviously you need to change that isla-fisher link to a webcam JPEG that is constantly changing. Not all webcams provide a JPEG at their URL location, but some do. You can change the main loop to use idle or some other Applescript flow control. This is written using AS 1.6. Have fun with it! And do i get credit for answering my own question?

  • Printing Problem with Pro-100 and Photoshop

    This is my setup: using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6. I have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up OK. First thing printed was a page from a document from MS Word on 8.5X11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up Photoshop and open a 4X6 inch image (just a snapshot in jpeg, landscape format) to do a test print.  I set it up in the print dialog as 4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop manages the color.  I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.
    Now, when it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and it starts printing on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out.  It does this in Photoshop (any image, it doesn't matter), and it does it printing from Nikon’s Capture NX.  I have been able to get it to print on the paper correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either. I want to be able to print from Photoshop. I have the most recent Canon driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same problem?  I don’t think I’ve overlooked anything. Thanks JMDavis!

    Hi JMDavis,
    Have you tried printing using the Print Studio Pro plugin for Photoshop?  If this is not install, it is available for download from Canon's web site.  To download and install Print Studio Pro, please follow these steps:
     1.  Visit Canon's website at:    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
     2.  Type PIXMA PRO-100 in the "Enter Your Model Name" box and click GO.
     3.  On the Support page for your unit, click the 'Drivers & Software' link in the middle of the page.
     4.  Click Software.
     5.  Click on Print Studio Pro.
     6.  If you agree, please select the checkbox next to "I have read and agree to the terms of the Disclaimer and wish to continue with the download".
     7.  Click on the Download button.
     8.  The file will be downloaded to your Downloads folder.  
     9.  Once the download is complete, close all windows.
    10.  Double click [mpsp-mac-1_3_5-ea9_2.dmg] in your Downloads folder.  Files will extract.
    Follow the prompts and installation will complete.
    Once installed, please open your image in Photoshop and print it using the Print Studio Pro plugin.

  • Date/Time Stamp to Capture Image

    Has anyone know how to stamp Date and Time into the webcam snapshot?

    I don't know about IMAQ, but the picture subpallete (inside Graphics & Sound) has a "Draw text in rect" VI. You can get the text using "Get Date\Time String" from the Time & Dialog palette. If you have IMAQ, I assume you have an equivalent function or that you can convert an IMAQ image into LV pic format and then do what I suggested.

  • Video Streaming on Web Browser from Web Camera

    How to run Web Camera on to the Web Browser through JAVA and JMF?

    How to run Web Camera on to the Web Browser
    through JAVA and JMF? As someone who has written dozens of applets, and
    helped debug hundreds of them, I can tell you that
    applets are not for beginners.
    Whenever I must have an applet that is any more
    than completely trivial, I will code it as a combined
    application/applet, if only for making testing faster
    and easier.
    Further, if you have a working application, it can be
    'launched from a link', just like an applet, but using
    web start.
    I suggest you put aside the applet idea for the
    moment, and concentrate on doing this in an
    application.
    When that is working, you can decide whether
    to launch it using web start, or embed it as an
    applet in a web page.
    Here is an example of launching JMF (the
    player) using web start.
    http://www.javasaver.com/testjs/jmf/#test5
    As far as coding for a web cam, a quick Google leads to..
    "Here is the source code to JMF Webcam app + saves jpeg"
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=247253
    2 notes:
    1) I found that URL for the web cam code using
    Google. I have never dealt with web cams myself.
    2) Normally I ignore threads with no dukes. I am
    usually pretty busy, and dukes indicate how
    important a thread is - to whoever is asking.
    So, if you want to complete this task faster, you might
    - search for answers first.
    - add dukes to any question, to indicate interest.
