cap_libv4l depends on an external library (libv4l) yet is still larger
(1966 loc vs 1822 loc).
It was initially introduced copy pasting cap_v4l in order to offload
various color conversions to libv4l.
However nowadays we handle most of the needed color conversions inside
OpenCV. Our own implementation is better tested and (probably) also
better performing. (as it can optionally leverage IPP/ OpenCL)
Currently cap_v4l is better maintained and generally the code is in
better shape. There is however an API
difference in getting unconverted frames:
* on cap_libv4l one need to set `CV_CAP_MODE_GRAY=1` or
`CV_CAP_MODE_YUYV=1`
* on cap_v4l one needs to set `CV_CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB=0`
the latter is more flexible though as it also allows accessing undecoded
JPEG images.
fixes#4563
For some mysterious (for me) reason, two lines of the code appears in my browser (Chrome) in the same line.
I've add an "enter" (just pressed enter), but don't know if it's the best solution.
Improved readability by correcting grammar and idioms.
Further improved language and readability.
Attempted to fix list bullets.
Again, attempted to fix list bullets.
Removed trailing whitespace on line 8.
Correct a mistake in {js,py}_table_of_contents_histograms.markdown (#11260)
* Update py_table_of_contents_histograms.markdown
"Learn to find and draw Contours" => "Learn the basics of histograms"
* Update js_table_of_contents_histograms.markdown
Corrected a seemlingly wronged line of copy in the python documention js_table_of_contents_histograms.markdown
"Learn to find and draw Contours" => "Learn the basics of histograms"
