Hi, You must add the nodrop option to the uvc driver (nodrop=1), otherwise bayer frames (smaller than yuyv frames) will get droped, since the driver mistakens these with incomplete yuyv frames. If you are using guvcview make sure you use the latest version (1.7.0), then I would try different resolutions and frame rates, I woul first try the sensor full resolution at the lowest fps. If the image has a blue or yellow tone try chaging the bayer order. Regards, Paulo 2013/6/11 phil rosenberg <philip_rosenberg@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi Paulo > Unfortunately I tried setting things up in the order you suggested, but as soon as I select 'Disable video processing I get only a single frame of something that looks a bit like a bayer grid, coloured deep blue.

This works fine on windows where the RGB output consists of zeros in the r and b bytes and pixel intensitey in the g byte. However on linux when I activate the webcam using uvcdynctrl and/or the options in guvcview the out put seems to be corrupted. I get something that looks like multiple images interlaces and displaced horizontally, generally pink. I've put an example of an extracted avi frame at http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~earpros/test0.png,which is a close up of one of my daughters hair clips and shows an (upside down) picture of a disney character. >>>I'm wondering if the UVC/V4L2 driver is interpretting the data as mjpeg and incorrectly decoding it giving the corruption. When I use guvcview I can choose the input format, but the only one that works in mjpeg, all others cause timeouts and no data. The image also has the tell-tale 8x8 jpeg block effect. Is there any way I can stop this decoding happening and get to the raw data? Presumably if my theory is correct then the decompression is lossy so cannot be undone. >>>Any help or suggestions welcome. >>> >>>Phil >>>-- >>>To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in >>>the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>>More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >>> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
