XDA Software

Can anyone tell me if there is alternative software available for taking pictures (not video) with the XDA2.
I have been unable to configure the existing software from IA Style to disable the video functions and hence am looking for alternative program which only takes picture format.
Anyone got any ideas.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

video camera

this may be a stupid question but
Does anyone know if theres a way to access either of the cameras on the hermes via the pc ? I have had a scramble round but cannot get the camera to show externally, i'd like to use it as a web cam,
thanks in advance

ignore me i missed it on the wiki

There is a cool app called CoolCamera and it has a Webcam option in there... It also allows you to record in higher sizes and better quality than the included camera software.
Worth checking out!
Good luck!

Camera Application

Hey Guys!
Is it possible to program an own camera application which not starts the standard camera application of windows mobile?
So that not the user decides when the cam shoot a picture!
For Example: A Thread is taking every 3seconds a picture or capture a video.
application development system: visual2005
device: HTC Advantage - Ameo
OS: WM5 (WM6 possible)
An open source app would be helpfull too!
Thank you!

Perhaps someone can help me with Directshow ?
Any good Tutorials ?
Or perhaps a short directshow code (c++) which only take a picture and save it. The CameraCapture Example is very complicate for a direct show newbie There are too many things which i dont need and its hard to find out the important lines :/
Would be nice if someone could help

Image processing with diamond's camera

Hi everybody,
I want to develop a software using diamond camera. This software will process image by image the camera output. I reach for source code to get image by image the camera output. In windows mobile sdk we have a class cameracapture but also launch the htc diamond tool for it.
Thanks in advance.

Not understood what you want to do....

explanation
I want to acquire images from the camera, Image by image to process each of them. For exemple, i want to try a traffic sign recognition or face detection algorithm. But I can't get the video image by image.
More clear or not?

perhaps this one can help you:
Barcorama
the other one I can think of would be 'Dark Ruler'
both process images from camera in some way...

Using Dual-Camera to produce a stereostopic view in realtime

Hey there,
I tried to create an app with the HTC One M8 and it´s Duallens "depthsensor".
The problem is that there is no way to activate the second rear camera in android.
In android.hardware.camera package there are some hidden methods like : enableSubCam...so I´ll tried to use java reflection to activate these SubCam, but it doesn´t work at all...
I need some depth information in realtime for my application and I thought with the new DualLens this would be possible.
Also I tried to understand the HTC DualLens SDK, but all this stuff works on an jpg format and without creating an new depthMap
So what do you think is the best method to access 1. the second rear camera or 2. directly some kind of depthMap with help from HTC SDK?

i remember there was an app (german) that take 2 pictures at the same time from both rear cameras but the app was just to show that both work so it was like open app>automatic capture>save both pictures>exit.
got it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722352

yeah I´ve seen this app, but it´s hard coded on the linux kernel ...
and like I said I´ll try to calculate the depthMap in realtime, so a continious Depth-Matrix with opencv for example and not just a jpg
isn´t there a possibility to access the hardware components of an smartphone and activate them?

like I said in the first post, I´ve tried to understand the SDK, but in my oppinion it´s not for creating a file...
you´re just allowed to use the already created depth information of an jpg-file...
or has anyone made some other experiences with the SDK?

Have you solved the problem?
Hi,
I have the similar situation and would like to know if you have found a solution to this problem.
I agree with you that the SDK provided by the HTC website is for depth info extraction from already created image. The SDK is not viable for realtime depth processing.
Please let me know if you have the solution for this problem.
Thanks!
