|
|
I'm looking for a way to work with an USB digital camera directly from out of my software. I want to tell the camera to make a photo and the path where this photo then shall be stored. Has anyone here experiences with this?
Thanks in advance,
Wilfried |

Wilfried,
You may find the specifications here: http://www.exif.org/dcf.PDF of some use.

Thank you, Eddie. The link is interesting, but I'm loking for something different. Suppose I have a WebCam connected to an USB port. Then my software should be able to...
(1) give an order to the camera to make a photo
(2) get the image data directly from the camera (or tell the camera where the data should be stored)
More general, I'm looking for an interface between my software (FTN95) and USB ports.
Regards,
Wilfried |

Thank you, Eddie.
Dot Net and C are really nice Nevertheless I will use Fortran to handle really time-consuming operations like image processing. Since about 30 years I'm using this language (after or parallel to Algol 68, Basic, C, C++, Java etc). Whenever a maximum of calculation power is needed, nothing is better than plain Fortran or (if need be) a Windows / Clearwin version.
This summer I had to teach basic programming at our University. OK, 95% of the students used Java, 5% C. I let them program some simple image operations. The showdown was turning a 100 MB image in real-time *ggg* Only FTN95 was able to do this.
Best regards and thanks again,
Wilfried |

Controlling the camera would be one more great FTN95 application no other Fortran compiler can do. Hopefully someone someday will write such routines, i am definitely interested to have ones
I also like image processing using FTN95, it is easy and is really great fun. And is heck useful. Look how you can transform the shot made by cheap cameras which often make distorted perspective so that all buildings "fall" into different sides into professionally looking picture. You can do a lot of other image processing.
Distorted and corrected perspective ( made in Clearwin with just few clicks, nothing else ):
