Synchronized reading from multiple webcams using v4l2 on Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------
Due to buffering, getting synchronized real-time video from a
single or multiple webcams is difficult, if not impossible.
This framework is intended fix just that.
When using multiple cameras, it is a requirement that they support the same configuration.
Installation
------------
`sudo apt install libjpeg-turbo8-dev libjpeg-dev cmake`
`python setup.py install` for system-wide installation
`python setup.py install --user` for user-specific installation
Use
---
Multiple cams:
```
import multicam as mc
with mc.Multicam(['/dev/video0','/dev/video2'], (640,480), 'YUYV', fps=30) as cs:
try:
while True:
res = cs.read() #RGB images
print(res.shape)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
```
Single cam:
```
import multicam as mc
with mc.Camera(0, (640,480), 'YUYV', fps=30) as c:
print(c.read().shape)
```
Various utils:
```
import multicam as mc
print(mc.list_cams())
print(mc.is_valid_device("/dev/video0"))
print(mc.get_formats("/dev/video0"))
```
