I am trying to display the screen recorder video in Tkinter. I was able to display webcam video but I am facing a problem while trying to displaying screen recorder video.
root = Tk()
# Create a frame
app = Frame(root, bg="white")
app.grid()
# Create a label in the frame
lmain = Label(app)
lmain.grid()
# Capture from camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def video_stream():
_, frame = cap.read()
print(frame)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(1, video_stream)
root.after(1, video_stream)
root.mainloop()
Code used for displaying webcam video on Tkinter.
I have this part of my program to show webcam feed on a Tkinter window:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import cv2
root = Tk()
def show_frames():
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(cap.read()[1], cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
label.imgtk = imgtk
label.configure(image=imgtk)
label.after(20, show_frames)
label = Label(root)
label.grid()
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
show_frames()
root.mainloop()
Whole program is getting quite long and hard to naivgate and I am trying get split the source code in multiple files. However I have trouble even with this core part of my code. I tried giving show_frames() argument cap, and it runs the function once and breaks on the seccond frame.
Then I tried this:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import cv2
root = Tk()
def show_frames():
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(cap.read()[1], cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
label.imgtk = imgtk
label.configure(image=imgtk)
label.after(20, show_frames)
label = Label(root)
label.grid()
show_frames()
root.mainloop()
In this one I am unsure how to "load" the frame onto screen.
You need to move cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW) outside of show_frames function.
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import cv2
root = Tk()
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
def show_frames():
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(cap.read()[1], cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
label.imgtk = imgtk
label.configure(image=imgtk)
label.after(20, show_frames)
label = Label(root)
label.grid()
show_frames()
root.mainloop()
Also, don't use the wildcard * it may cause you problems in the future.
I have program that can show webcam image/video on tkinter. I want my program to run method when I press certain key (from keyboard) or button (tkinter button) inside tkinter. Here is my code:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import cv2
root = Tk()
label =Label(root)
label.grid(row=0, column=0)
cap= cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
def show_frames():
cv2image= cv2.cvtColor(cap.read()[1],cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image = img)
label.imgtk = imgtk
label.configure(image=imgtk)
label.after(20, show_frames)
def method():
print("test")
show_frames()
root.after(2000, method)
root.mainloop()
Problem with this code is was that first it ran only once. Then I tried to change the method it in this:
def method():
while True:
print("test")
Problem with this is that it freezes first the window and ultimately crashes the program. Even with only this one print statement.
how would you suggest I go about this? Or is there other method than after that I should use instead?
I added a key_pressed function and now it handles multiple key presses you can see it yourself on the console.
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import cv2
root = Tk()
label =Label(root)
label.grid(row=0, column=0)
cap= cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
def show_frames():
cv2image= cv2.cvtColor(cap.read()[1],cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image = img)
label.imgtk = imgtk
label.configure(image=imgtk)
label.after(20, show_frames)
def key_pressed(event):
method()
def method():
print("test")
show_frames()
root.bind("<Key>", key_pressed)
root.mainloop()
I have a problem with Opencv and Python. When I try to see frames from camera it does not to recognize a usb camera, I have used standar code from books with two usb cameras, the problem is that only one camera works and I do not know. I run opencv with python on windows, the camera's drivers are installed because Windows recognizes it.
Whats it´s wrong with second camera?
Thanks
of course! The code is following:
import cv2
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
#Set up GUI
window = tk.Tk() #Makes main window
window.wm_title("Digital Microscope")
window.config(background="#FFFFFF")
#Graphics window
imageFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=500)
imageFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
#Capture video frames
lmain = tk.Label(imageFrame)
lmain.grid(row=0, column=0)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame() #Display 2
window.mainloop() #Starts GUI
I don't exactly remember where I copy this code, I think from here, stackoverflow.
Thanks
I'm writing a program that needs to display a video stream in a Tkinter window. Since there will also be buttons for performing various functions, I'm using grid to organize where everything goes.
The following code, modified from Show webcam sequence TkInter, works fine on my Raspberry Pi:
import Tkinter as tk
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
width, height = 800, 600
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
root = tk.Tk()
lmain = tk.Label(root)
lmain.pack()
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame()
root.mainloop()
However, combining it with Tkinter doesn't work. (In what follows, I've tried commenting out Display 1, Display 2, and neither.)
import numpy as np
import cv2
import Tkinter as tk
import Image, ImageTk
#Set up GUI
window = tk.Tk() #Makes main window
window.wm_title("Digital Microscope")
window.config(background="#FFFFFF")
#Graphics window
imageFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=500)
imageFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
#Capture video frames
lmain = tk.Label(imageFrame)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
tk.Label(imageFrame, image=show_frame()).grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2) #Display 1
#Slider window (slider controls stage position)
sliderFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=100)
sliderFrame.grid(row = 600, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
show_frame() #Display 2
window.mainloop() #Starts GUI
How can I get the video to display in imageFrame?
This should work:
import numpy as np
import cv2
import Tkinter as tk
import Image, ImageTk
#Set up GUI
window = tk.Tk() #Makes main window
window.wm_title("Digital Microscope")
window.config(background="#FFFFFF")
#Graphics window
imageFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=500)
imageFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
#Capture video frames
lmain = tk.Label(imageFrame)
lmain.grid(row=0, column=0)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
#Slider window (slider controls stage position)
sliderFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=100)
sliderFrame.grid(row = 600, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
show_frame() #Display 2
window.mainloop() #Starts GUI
First of all, you have the line tk.Label(imageFrame, image=show_frame()).grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2), and since show_frame() doesn't return anything, you've set image to None. Second of all, you need to make sure you lmain.grid(), otherwise lmain won't show.
If you want to have two displays one on top of the other, you could do something like this:
import numpy as np
import cv2
import Tkinter as tk
import Image, ImageTk
#Set up GUI
window = tk.Tk() #Makes main window
window.wm_title("Digital Microscope")
window.config(background="#FFFFFF")
#Graphics window
imageFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=500)
imageFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
#Capture video frames
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
display1.imgtk = imgtk #Shows frame for display 1
display1.configure(image=imgtk)
display2.imgtk = imgtk #Shows frame for display 2
display2.configure(image=imgtk)
window.after(10, show_frame)
display1 = tk.Label(imageFrame)
display1.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=10, pady=2) #Display 1
display2 = tk.Label(imageFrame)
display2.grid(row=0, column=0) #Display 2
#Slider window (slider controls stage position)
sliderFrame = tk.Frame(window, width=600, height=100)
sliderFrame.grid(row = 600, column=0, padx=10, pady=2)
show_frame() #Display
window.mainloop() #Starts GUI
