RE: Saving YUVY image from V4L2 buffer to file

["Charlie X. Liu" <charlie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why don't you directly set it with: fmt.fmt.pix.pixelformat =
V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGR24, instead of converting?

Then, save like:

        sprintf( ppmheader, "P6\n#ppm image\n%d %d\n255\n", info->width,
info->height);
        fwrite( ppmheader, 1, strlen(ppmheader), fptr);
        // write out the rows
        for ( i=0; i<info->height; i++)
        {
            //fwrite( &image[info->stride*i], 1, info->stride, fptr);
            for ( j=0; j<info->width; j++ ) {
            fwrite( &image[info->stride*i+j*3+2], 1, 1, fptr);
            fwrite( &image[info->stride*i+j*3+1], 1, 1, fptr);
            fwrite( &image[info->stride*i+j*3+0], 1, 1, fptr);
            }
        }

Devin,

Many thanks for the quick reply.

Yes I'm getting some sort of an image. When I was experimenting I managed to
get an image but in grayscale & showing multiple copies of the same image
covering the top half of the image. I imagine it was distorted because I was
not converting to RGB correctly.

All the best,

 

Owen
