Video4Squeak is an older camera framework by Diego Gomez Deck. It only works on Linux via Video4Linux.

The CameraPlugin comes from Scratch. In the Etoys image you can find a CameraMorph that uses it. It should be in the Multimedia category of the Object Catalog.

That CameraMorph should also work fine in other images.

How do I get started with Video4Squeak from Physical Etoys?  I have moved the video and audio .dll'[s and code to Squeak 4.5 but I don’t know how to start a camera displaying. 

I want to work with the video to do machine vision like will be done in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. I know the first step after getting the software to work with a camera is to calculate contours. But I cannot find the Video4Squeak author or how to make it work and access the video frames to recognize visual objects.  

I looked at all the Smalltalk code but I don't even understand where the code access the CameraPlugin.dll to be sure it's looking in the correct directory or working at all.  Suggestions?


Thank you.
