VideoCapture

VideoCapture is a C++ library for video capturing, supporting various backends such as OpenCV and optionally GStreamer.

Features

• Capture video from different sources using OpenCV
• Optional support for GStreamer to enhance video capturing capabilities
• Integration with other C++ projects using modern CMake

Requirements

• CMake 3.20 or higher
• C++17 compatible compiler
• OpenCV

Optional

• GStreamer (if USE_GSTREAMER is enabled)

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the required dependencies installed:

• OpenCV
• GStreamer (optional)

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/olibartfast/VideoCapture.git
   cd VideoCapture

2. Configure and build the project with CMake:

   cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_GSTREAMER=ON
   cmake --build build

   Use -DUSE_GSTREAMER=OFF to disable GStreamer support.

Running the Application

After building the project, you can run the sample application:

./build/bin/VideoCaptureApp <path/to/video>

Using in Your Project

To use VideoCapture in your project, you can use CMake's FetchContent:

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  VideoCapture
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/olibartfast/VideoCapture.git
  GIT_TAG        main  # or the specific tag/branch you want to use
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(VideoCapture)
