Show text on an image
Syntax
UseCamera[]
...
EndCamera
UseCamera["background"]
...
EndCamera
Where ...
is the code you want to run on each frame in the image.
UseCamera[]
has two modes:
UseCamera[]
: Runs all enclosed commands in a single thread. This is ideal for real-time use cases.UseCamera["background"]
: Shows the webcam in one thread and runs commands in another thread. This allows you to add asynchronous logic (i.e. a 3, 2, 1 countdown) without freezing the webcam feed while the logic runs.
Examples
The following example loads a webcam, turns each frame greyscale, and shows the resultant frame:
UseCamera[]
Greyscale[]
Show[]
