pxCamera

pxCamera is a simple video camera capture class that layers on top of pxCore, our portable opensource framebuffer library. The design of pxCamera makes it well suited to do a variety of fun and interesting things with captured video frames - like computer vision or image processing applications.

The design of the pxCamera API followed a few principles as follows:

*Be Simple – Allows for enumeration of available capture devices and the ability to initiate capturing frames from a given camera into a pxBuffer(framebuffer).
*No UI Policy – Simple capture into a framebuffer. No UI is assumed.
*Support multiple capture sources simultaneously. [I’ve tested with two webcams] pxCamera should support any DirectShow compatible video source.
*Portable API – The API is portable even though the implementation is currently only for Windows.
