Overview
VSourceV4L2 C++ library provides video capture and video source (V4L2 compatible video sources) control function based on V4L2 API. The library supports stepwise and discrete devices. The library inherits interface from open source VSource interface class. VSource.h file contains data structures VSourceParams class (contains video source params and provides methods for serialization / deserialization params), VSourceCommand enum (describes video source action commands), VSourceParam enum (describes video source params) and includes VSourceV4L2 class declaration. VSourceV4L2 depends on: Libcamera API, VSource interface class (provides interface for video sources, source code included, Apache 2.0 license) and open source Logger library (provides method to write logs, source code included, Apache 2.0 license). The library provides auto detection of supported resolution, format and fps. If particular devices doesn't support requested pixel format, resolution or fps, the library will set most appropriate parameters. The library supports C++17 standard.
Simple interface
namespace cr
{
namespace video
{
/**

class VSourceV4L2 : public VSource
{
public:

Simple example
#include <iostream>
#include "VSourceV4L2.h"
int main(void)
{
// Init video source.
cr::video::VSource* source = new cr::video::VSourceV4L2();
std::string initString = "/dev/video0";
if (!source->openVSource(initString))
return -1;
// Main loop.
cr::video::Frame frame;
while (true)
{
// Wait new frame 1 sec.
if (!source->getFrame(frame, 1000))
continue;
std::cout << "New frame " << frame.frameId <<
" (" << frame.width << "x" << frame.height << ") cycle time : " <<
(int)source->getParam(cr::video::VSourceParam::CYCLE_TIME_MKS) <<
" mksec" << std::endl;
}
return 1;
