How to get video frames from UVC device in MJPG format on ARM64 system? (with python)

1.7k views Asked by At

As the title. I want to get the highest performance from Logic HD Pro Webcam C920, which should be 1920*1080, FPS=30.0. I've tried many ways from Internet, however, neither could solve my problem. Generally, There are two methods could achieve the goal.

  1. opencv-python -> VideoCapture:

Here is my code.

    cap = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video0')
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MJPG'))
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1920)
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 1080)

The problem is although I set the correct resolution and format which is supported by camera and computer, I still get the wrong FPS from camera (Result is 1920*1080 FPS=5). The camera I used is Logic HD Pro Webcam C920. Below are the camera information.

Here is my code and it doesn't work, either. Unless remove the pixelformat, and set width=2304,height=1536,framerate=2/1

        gst_str =  'v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! '
                   'video/x-raw, pixelformat=2, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1 ! '
                   'videoconvert ! appsink'
        cap = cv2.VideoCapture(gst_str, cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)

This has already perplexed me for a long time. I really wonder how to get the correct resolution, fps and format from UVC device. I'll very very very appreciate it if someone could solve the problem and told me what's going on.
