Access Android Camera Frames with no Preview


I want to do image processing on frames from Android Camera in real time with OpenCv, but all the OpenCv Android examples provide a preview of the image being captured. I really don't need previews of the frames , is there any way to get the frames without actually showing the preview ?


Solution

  • A quick/naive way would be to make onCameraFrame method returning null and set your CameraBridgeViewBase visibility to SurfaceView.INVISIBLE or SurfaceView.GONE.
