Hi!
I'm working on a tiltscan via a webcam, just like the example within Processing.
Tha cam I'm using is Logitch 9000 it works perfect on Leopard and processing. But to compleet a "scan" like 800x800 it taks up 1 minute. The cam can take (upto) 30Fps, so I need it at a faster rate. cranking up the framRate() doesn't give me any luck. But perhaps I mis something.

My code:
loadPixels();
for (int e = 0; e < eNImage.height; e++){
  int setPixelIndex = e*width + drawPositionX;
  int getPixelIndex = e*eNImage.width  + videoSliceX;
  pixels[setPixelIndex] = eNImage.pixels[getPixelIndex];
}
updatePixels();

It takes 1 line of pixels from the center of the cam. And updates the line inside an image, moves up 1 pixels and does another scan. Correct me if I'm wrong but: 30Fps x 800 Pixels should give me around 25 sec to compleet.

Is there a way to speed this up?
Just had an idea to make some kind of Loop where I grab all the lines. When it's done I "draw" the screen. Am I on the right track?


Best regards
Jan
