Windows Programming Nightmare
Intro.The beginning of nightmare
I am a student of information science . much interested in computer. In my undergraduate thesis I think a lot and decided to pick up a interesting one . My professor suggest me to do something about mobile application in BREW platform . I started and it was related to camera attached in many mobile phone this days . I started studying BREW. I did install BREW SDK , BREW SDK Tools . It was not easy for me to start a new language like brew . After some sample programming I get inside my main topics how to start with camera in BREW . Well you do programming in computer and run it in BREW Simulator . But there is no clue how to simulate camera in BREW . After some googling I found a it may be possible to simulate a web cam and get the image in the BREW simulator . I dont know why there is no document about simulating a pccam in BREW simulator . It says only that a cam that is DirectShow enable may work . But I tried with my usb webcam but did not work . Brew forums have some post about this topics . None of them are not clear . I did those steps and double check. No its not working . I get some hint that I need somekind of directshow application for this . I downlaod some sample . Tried to compile in MS Visual C++ 6 . They show the message like dshow.h is not available . OK ,where I can find dshow.h ? Somewhere in the web say that its with DirectX SDK . OK , I download the latest one . They same message again .The latest DirectX SDK (2007.10.24) does not have dshow.h . What the hell ?
My Goal
1.Get or make a tool for BREW Simulator where it get the image feed from a webcam or pccam whatever you say when I use the ICAMERA interface .
2.Feed certin kind of video with a mark in the frames and analyze them in BREW .
Steps I took so far for number 1 goal.
a)I searche in BREW Forum about the topics how can I simulate camera using brew simulator using a webcam conected to computer.
Simulation of Camera on system.I get the following quote.
- Get the device pack which supports camera simulation. [camera support section is checked to yes in device properties and Camera CLSID configuration section support to yes.]
- The major requirement to instantiate camera on system is DirectShow compliant camera device is connected to the system.
- When we run the Application using device pack with camera support it finds the first available camera device on the system and display the result on the device simulator.
I fulfilled above all . My device pack is W41S with "camera support properties yes" and "Camera CLSID configuration section support to yes".
