When you drag a PGM file into the WatchPGM window, it is displayed. If you just want the executable file, it can be downloaded from the following link:Īnother little program of mine called WatchPGM can be useful to run alongside RobotEyez.
#Flatout 4 msvcp110.dll code#
The complete source code can be downloaded from the RobotEyes page on Github. Command line arguments can be used to specify the capture device (by name or number), a delay before the first image is saved, the interval between subsequent saved frames, the total number of frames to save, the command to run after each file is saved, and whether or not a video preview window should be displayed during capture. The user can also specify a command to run after each image is saved. Individual frames are converted to greyscale and saved to a PGM file (called “frame.pgm”) or files (called "frame0001.pgm", "frame0002.pgm", "frame0003.pgm", etc) at a time interval specified by the user. webcam) and begins video capture (at the default frame rate and either the default resolution or the requested frame width and height). When you run RobotEyez.exe, it opens a video capture device (e.g. RobotEyez is my first attempt at doing this.

Wikipedia provides a nice PGM example.įor quite a while, I’ve been meaning to create a lightweight DirectShow engine (a standalone executable) that allows C programmers to perform real-time machine vision simply by writing a program that reads and analyses a PGM file. It’s one of a closely related family of refreshingly understandable image file formats called Netpbm. This file format stores greyscale images in plain text and it’s easy to write C programs that write and read them using only standard library functions. I use PGM image files a lot in my Engineering Computing class because the provide a really easy way for novice programmers to get started with image processing in C.
