PS3 VS KINECT ?

2011-04-10T22:19:13+00:00

Im sorry if i necro-post I did a search and found nothing.

I have windows 7 ultamate 64 bit, I will be useing my cam for genral webcam and security. Is the Kinect-cam better than the PS3-cam in any?way? Lower CPU useage, better clarity, ECT…. I do not own eather one at this time I am hopeing to get a reply before I go out and buy one.
Thank you for your time and input’

not working ps3 cam

2011-03-15T14:54:08+00:00

hello reader

i recently downloaded the software to use my PS3 cam as a regular webcam, but i have an issue.

i tried to use it on skype and MSN, and i used it in the TEST but i only get the ‘no camera found’ logo.
i tried to re-plug in the camera, i re-installed the software multiple times and i even re-formated my pc but nothing worked.

does anyone knows how to fix this problem becouse i realy want to use my cam for this

ps3 eye synchronisation

2010-12-24T14:06:41+00:00

I’d like to sync 3 PS3 eye cameras. This page gives some relevant details, but how do I connect up the VSYNC’s and HSIN’s of each camera?

Do I just connect the VSYNC of one camera, the ‘master’, to the HSIN’s of the other two cameras, the ‘slaves’?

Also, can anyone suggest a good method of determining if all 3 frames have been captured at the same time? I.e. if one camera drops a frame, how can I reliably detect this?

Thanks

PS3 cam with a USB network device

2010-11-22T13:03:06+00:00

Need some help here: I have a “Silex SX-3000GB” USB Network device connected to my home LAN network, here I have attached the PS3 Camera, all drivers are up to date but the Camera remains blank and just shows the blue light and a constant blinking of the red one.

The device works no poblems with a Logitec or Creative camera.

has anybody any ideas as to how I can get this to work??

Cheers

Capturing at 60 fps with 4 cams possible ?

2010-05-07T00:12:26+00:00

Hi,

I was just wondering if it would be possible to capture from 4 cameras at 60fps and stitch the frames together to one big image with this card: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/usb/vt6212/

In the description it says: “Host Controller delivers consistently high data transfer rates of up to 480Mbps to each of the four downstream USB2.0 ports”

This means you can drive 4 cams with the full usb 2.0 speed, right ?
So in theory it should be possible, or am i thinking in a wrong direction ?

Is there any problem with the current multicam driver or would it work if i set the capture rate for every camera to 60 fps and having this card ?

More Synchronization

2010-08-05T15:43:28+00:00

Hi.

I have soldered wires to the VSYNC and FSIN at the locations identified on the board of five cameras. I basically followed this tutorial, except that I was not able to get the desired signal from the R22 plate and instead went straight to the place indicated as VSYNC on the images on that site.

http://sszymczy.rootnode.net/index.php?menu=projects&submenu=webcamsync2&subsub=PS3Eye

I confirmed with an oscilloscope that the VSYNC output of the first and the fourth camera are synchronized (and the fifth camera didn’t survive my soldering :( )

Now let’s say i have two genlocked cameras and I have two grabber threads. My question is how do I know which of these frames belong together? this may sound like an uninformed question, but I am aware of the other synchronization threads, most notably this one:

http://codelaboratories.com/forums/viewthread/221/

Basically the CLEyeCameraGetFrameD() function blocks until a frame is received. I tried using the system clock of my computer to create a timestamp (and I know it is unreliable) at this point in time. Then I always used the two images of the cameras that has the closest of these timestamps. Example at 15 frames per second (guid of camera and time in milliseconds):

e9179624-f4fa-c9a0-ebd3-e3242cb09d04 1312

Unfortunately it is accurate only up to about a tick of 1/60th of a second. When a lot of processing comes together with a frame rate of 30fps and more, this is was not reliable enough.

I am hoping any of your guys has an idea how I could find out which of these frames belong together in a reliable way when the system clock resolution is too low for the trick above?

CL Eye SDK on Pentium 4?

2010-08-09T20:35:10+00:00

Hi all,

I found in the minimal requirements section that a core duo processor is needed in order to use two cameras. I would like to use two cameras and a recycled computer for an installation, and the fastest computer I can use has a late Pentium 4 processor.

Could that work at 20 - 30 fps? I would have to buy a video card, so I would like to know first if its even possible.

Thanks!
