You can show a Web camera in your windows by photographing of this camera with the help of any other camera and making a bitmap file for it. Showing it in the window is simple :-)

How do you use openCV to show the camera output? You have to provide more details (the specific lines of code) where you have problems. Use the "Improve question" button to add more details to your question.

Hello,

I am working on Credential Provider using VC++. Where i want start a web cam using

opencv classes and libraries. Added all the header files and its libraries to

credential provider for accessing.

Code Like this:

cvCapture *camera = 0;
IplImage *frame;
IplImage *showimg;
cvNamedWindow("Input", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
camera = cvCaptureFromCAM(0);
cvSetCaptureProperty(camera, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 360);
cvSetCaptureProperty(camera, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 240);
while(1)
{
frame = cvQueryFrame(camera);
showimg = cvCloneImage(frame);
cvShowImage("Input", showimg);
}

added this code to display the cam on the window.

but its not displaying cam but displaying the window and giving the error Like this:

"This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in a unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information".

Can anyone give me some idea, how to solve this issue.

Thanks in Advance. .

If you want to capture video (from your webcam) using OpenCV, check out the following sample at OpenCV wiki:
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/CameraCapture[^]

If you want to use Win SDK, use either Video for Windows (WfW) or DirectShow.

WfW provides capCreateCaptureWindow() API to create a Window for capturing video. There are a lot of samples available on the Internet.

E.g. a basic sample is available at MSDN:

Good luck!
