Introduction
HornetsEye is a Ruby-extension for real-time computer vision under GNU/Linux offering interfaces to do image- and video-I/O with RMagick, Xine, firewire digital camera (DC1394) and video for Linux (V4L).
HornetsEye also is an attempt to use the Mimas library and create a minimalistic and consistent real-time computer vision library.
- minimalistic: The library is focused on real-time computer vision. Existing libraries are being made used of.
- consistent:: A non-redundant set of data-types is used. Also the library tries to stay consistent with existing libraries.
The logo was created using GIMP and it is based on a nice photo published by Olivander. A hornet is capable of navigating and detecting objects with the limited resolution of its compound eyes.
Simple Webcam Application
#!/usr/bin/ruby require 'hornetseye' require 'Qt' app=Qt::Application.new(ARGV) class VideoWidget < Qt::Label def initialize( parent = nil ) super @input = Hornetseye::V4LInput.new startTimer( 0 ) end def timerEvent( e ) str = @input.read.to_magick.to_blob { self.format = "PPM"; self.depth = 8 } pix = Qt::Pixmap.new pix.loadFromData( Qt::ByteArray.fromRawData( str, str.size ) ) setPixmap( pix ) resize( pix.width, pix.height ) update end end win = VideoWidget.new win.show app.exec
The webcam application uses HornetsEye, RMagick, and qt4-ruby.
qt4-qtruby-1.4.7 seems to have a memory leak in Qt::ByteArray. Thanks to Richard Dale the problem was solved and the bugfix will be included in the next release of qt4-qtruby. The modified code already is available via the KDE source repository.
See Hornetseye homepage for more examples.
