Improv is a tool for basic real time image processing at low resolution, e.g. suitable for mobile robots. Improv is a tool for basic real time image processing at low resolution, e.g. suitable for mobile robots.Improv program has been developed for PCs with the Linux operating system and runs under X Windows.Improv works with a number of inexpensive low-resolution digital cameras (no framegrabber required).Here are some key features of "Improv":· Modular design, allowing for easy integration of new functionality. · Image processing operations are contained within plugins, compiled as statically · linked files (.so), which can be loaded and unloaded at run time. · Improved support for still image sequences. · An abstract Camera class, simplifying the creation of new camera drivers. · A completely customisable interface, allowing for complex image processing sequences. · Written using the QT Windowing library. · Portable autoconf/automake build scripts. Improv also includes support for the following cameras:· Quickcam grayscale camera (parallel port) · Make sure to set the protocol of your parallel port correctly (boot-up setting to either ECP or EPP should work). · Quickcam Color V2 camera (parallel port) · Sorry, none of the newer QuickCams work - Connectix/Logitech refuses to disclose the low-level interface. · Various web cameras with cpia driver, e.g. ZoomCam · Video 4 Linux cameras · and preliminary support for Video 4 Linux 2 cameras. Improv displays the source image (from either a still image or a live camera) in the first window, while subsequent image operations can be applied to this image in five more windows. For each sub-window, a sequence of image processing routines may be specified.
