Hi,

I just have finished constructing C++ code for measuring the Image defocus. I have done it for static images. Now, i was asked by my professor to do it in real time for gray scale images, say, of size 512*512. Can you help me as to how to go about it. I have not done interfacing in C/C++ before.

It would be of great help,

thanks,
cedance.
 

Hi

you can use microsoft DirectShow for interfacing a WDM (Windows Driver Model) device such as a webcam .

DirectShow provides you the API functions and structures necessary to access the device.you should also download the DirectX SDK which contains the basic classes and header files of the DirectX (including DirectShow), the documentations and example source codes , ... .

for more information search DirectShow in msdn.microsoft.com

best regards
