I can use the opencv3.2.0 library to open the camera cap.open(0) can be opened normally and quickly, without modifying the code to replace the opencv4.7.0 library, open the camera becomes very slow, it takes tens of seconds, what is the reason
on which os ?
(if it’s win, might try to change the backend back to CAP_DSHOW, as it was back in 3.2. (default now is CAP_MSMF, which is slow sometimes))
In windowns, just now I tried to follow your method and successfully solved the problem of slow opening, thank you very much
There is note in doc now
Microsoft Media Foundation backend tries to use hardware accelerated transformations if possible. Environment flag “OPENCV_VIDEOIO_MSMF_ENABLE_HW_TRANSFORMS” set to 0 disables it and may improve initialization time.
