Web cam / Image processing
-
I'll be working on a project sometime soon that involves image capture and processing. See below for brief description. - I want to be able to view the video from a webcam in a GUI. - Capture frames from that video. - Process the images. That's it! Has anyone written an application similar to this? Can anyone recommend a language best suited for this type of application... Visual C++, VB, Java? I'm in no hurry to get this project started, and I'm able to learn new languages fairly easily. I've completed a project similar to this, but in assembly language. I want to step it up to a higher level language with a GUI. Thanks!

C++ is the obvious best choice. You're going to want to use DirectX, so forget Java. C# will work fine, but if you know C++, that's what I'd use. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
