I am currently trying to write a java program to utilize either a built in laptop webcam or an external USB webcam. This would hopefully be compatible with both PC and Mac.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a library that can deal with it all? I don't really want to reinvent the wheel and I wouldn't have any idea where to start in 1) detecting a webcam, 2) taking a snapshot when a QR code is detected.
I am familiar with ZXing for decoding barcode images however.
I have searched high and low, I strongly suspect the library I look for doesn't exist, however its worth an ask!
My first question on here, so I hope it is clear!
edit: alternatively, if one doesn't exist, could you point me in the right direction of how to take a snapshot from webcam when a QR code is detected? :)
Thanks
zxing has a port to Actionscript, which would make it usable via Flash, which can access a webcam. The port is a little old and not 100% complete, but ought to work.
