Save images on PC with "virtual cam"

Hi!

#1. I'm trying to modify the "simple-track-color" project to make it save an image on my computer when it finds the color I'm looking for.

I'm using the virtual-cam. Is there any function availible to achieve this?

#2. When I have achieved the above I also wants it to draw the bounding box in the image, and then save it.

Is it possible?

    The virtual-cam is for prototyping. It sounds like your application should be doable, but you will need to write some software on the PC side. Basically you want to call send frame after your track color detects a target. You need to write (or modify) the software on the PC to receive and save these images.

    You can draw on the image in various ways. Its probably easiest to do that after the fact on the PC though.

      Hi!

      Thanks for your answer.

      I don't need the image saving and drawing when I do it "live". Only when I try it on the computer with the virtual-cam. It's easier to see what I actually find in my images.
