DirectX Delphi Webcam Capture Example

posted 8 Nov 2010 14:42 by Delphi Basics   [ updated 10 Nov 2010 13:40 ]
This project is a complete example of control of web cams with DirectShow in Delphi. This code can be used as a suitable replacement for the outdated Video For Windows (VFW) Api to retreive the webcam stream as described here: Delphi Webcam Capture Example.

This delphi project was created by porting the C++ video capture "PlayCap" examples, including "PlayCapMoniker", which uses Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 200) to Delphi. 

No 3rd party components are used in this application; only two units: VSample.pas & VFrame.pas. 

Features: 
  •   Select to view from a list of cameras. 
  •   Up to two Webcams can be read from at once. 
  •   The ability to pause and resume the video stream. 
  •   Support for many video formats: 
    •   YUY2 (YUYV, YUNV) 
    •   MJPG 
    •   I420 (YV12, IYUV) 
  •   Direct control of the camera properties (Zoom, Pan etc). 
  •   Monitoring mode "Surveillance" writes JPG files in a "Spy" subdirectory. 
  •   Simple real-time modifications of the current video such as crosshair. 
  •   Invert stream (mirror view of webcam capture). 
  •   Conversion to grayscale. 
  •   Highlight changed areas.
