Ideally we want to find a tool that does everything on every platform. Practically, we would be happy with multiple tools, as long as they are cross-platform (eg. one tool for video reading, another for capture).
| Library | Description | Video cap. | Video source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Myron/WebCamXTra | That's the one used in Processing for video capture | Yes | No |
| Portvideo (latest version is here | Cross-platform video capture (Linux, Mac, Windows). That's what Myron/Webcamxtra is actually using. | Yes | No |
| OpenCV HighGui | Well-known cross-platform computer vision software (see reference with example here | Yes | ??? |
| OpenML | Cross-platform media library | Yes | ??? |
| ReacTIvision | Software for augmented reality applications (we could strip the code) | Yes | ??? |
| GStreamer | Cross-platform library for media | No sure (With v4l under Linux, not sure about other platforms) | Yes |
| QtMultimedia (en français) and Phonon (see also Phonon main page) | Cross-platform media library in Qt (which we are already using). Phonon is the high-level module for QtMultimedia. However it might look too good to be true. | No sure. There is this "Phonon capture API" that looks interesting but it's from 2010 and seems to work just on Linux. | Yes |
