1) Cameras started with Y16 (V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y16) format via v4l2 backend will now exhibit default camera behavior, i.e. convert the 16-bit image to BGR as with all other formats. 16-bit 1-channel output will now only be produced for Y16 if CV_CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB is set to "false" using VideoCap::set method.
2) v4l2 videoio backend now supports setting CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC explicitly (icvSetPropertyCAM_V4L function in cap_v4l.cpp), allowing users to manually set the codec on cameras that support multiple codecs.
by updating to c++ coding conventions
- const correctness
- use bool as return value
- use explicit initialization instead of CLEAR macro/ memset
- use cv namespace
the last kernel that allowed compiling this code was 2.6.37 which was
released almost 5 Years ago. So probably it does not get much testing
any more. Furthermore even back then one was better off using the V4L2
API.
The only change touching currently used code is the removal of the
global V4L2_SUPPORT variable.
allows disabling automatic conversion to RGB for certain formats. If
conversion is disabled the returned image just points to the underlying
buffer, so no memcpy is performed.
Note that we do not check image size in retrieve frame any more as it
can not possibly while the device is streaming.
Furthermore this code was disabled altogether by the wrong ifdef in the
previous commit.
use logic similar to cap_libv4l: replace icvSetVideoSize by v4l2_reset
as it was not used for V4L1, the actual frame format is negotiated in
try_palette_v4l2 and the stream has to restarted anyway.
