Hello,
I am trying to manipulate the video data from a camera. The camera works fine in opencv-python, but it fails to be opened in opencv c++.
“TestOpenCV.cpp”
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/videoio.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main(int, char**)
{
Mat frame;
//--- INITIALIZE VIDEOCAPTURE
VideoCapture cap;
// open the default camera using default API
// cap.open(0);
// OR advance usage: select any API backend
int deviceID = 0; // 0 = open default camera
int apiID = cv::CAP_ANY; // 0 = autodetect default API
cout<< "cv version: " << CV_VERSION << endl;
// open selected camera using selected API
cap.open(deviceID, apiID);
// cap = videoCapture(0);
// check if we succeeded
if (!cap.isOpened()) {
cerr << "ERROR! Unable to open camera\n";
return -1;
}
cap.set(CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1280);
cap.set(CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 400);
//--- GRAB AND WRITE LOOP
cout << "Start grabbing" << endl
<< "Press any key to terminate" << endl;
for (;;)
{
// wait for a new frame from camera and store it into 'frame'
cap.read(frame);
// check if we succeeded
if (frame.empty()) {
cerr << "ERROR! blank frame grabbed\n";
break;
}
// show live and wait for a key with timeout long enough to show images
imshow("Live", frame);
if (waitKey(5) >= 0)
break;
}
// the camera will be deinitialized automatically in VideoCapture destructor
return 0;
}

It looks good when cmake generates the makefile:

But it goes wrong when executes:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/vision/testOpenCV# sudo ./testOpenCV
cv version: 4.5.4-dev
[ WARN:0] global /home/ubuntu/opencv-master/modules/videoio/src/cap_v4l.cpp (890) open VIDEOIO(V4L2:/dev/video0): can't open camera by index
ERROR! Unable to open camera
How to solve the issue? Thanks!
try giving it /dev/video0 instead of the number.
cout << cv::getBuildInformation(), and python equivalent, and show both here. the Video I/O sections are most interesting.
Thank you for the reply.

When I try python script again, it reports the same error. The only difference from my early trial is the updating opencv from 3.2 to current. Is it related? How to locate the issue?
“cam.py”

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1280)

Please use ls /dev/video* to test which v4l2 device in your pi.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/vision/testOpenCV$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video11 /dev/video13 /dev/video15
/dev/video0_usb_cam /dev/video10 /dev/video12 /dev/video14 /dev/video16
- Install media-ctl with
sudo apt install v4l-utils
- Check v4l2 device information by using
media-ctl -p
I geuss that you using a usb camera and your camera name may be /dev/video0_usb_cam.

I connect 2 cameras on my Pi board. One is the original Pi camera by UART, other is a USB binocular camera. Unfortunately, none of them works with opencv on Pi.

those dimensions might not be accepted by the video device
Thanks for the information. The Pi can read the cammer data after I remove the dimension setting.
However, the binocular camera device combines two 640x400 images as one 1280x400 image output.
The 1280x400 output works fine in windows. How can I make it works on Pi system?
