Is an image resource needed to output camera live feed from native code?

Question

Hi team,

We are trying to implement a camera live feed screen (a new class) in embedded wizard. The feed data is received by the native code. In the camera screen class, do we need to place an image resource (with size of the feed required) and then populate date into it using the native code? If not, how do we go about it? Please let me know

Best regards

Hello,

meanwhile (starting with version 12) we have integrated Extern Video within the mosaic framework to use video content as a resource like regular bitmaps.

For previous versions, the integration of a camera feed can be done by using the Applet Interface. This article describes all details about the integration of an external application (e.g. video decoder, camera). 

In the past we had a similar discussion for STM32 here, maybe you can use this as example how to bring the camera data into an applet.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Manfred.
