Class: VideoSource

@geenee/armature.VideoSource

Video source

General class of video capture objects providing functionality to grab images from various sources. It implements basic interfaces like setup, start, stop of the video capture, and grabbing of frames. Internally utilizes ImageBuffer as storages.

setup

setup(params?): Promise<boolean>

Setup video source

Sets up capture, overridden for particular video source. Video source can be setup by simplified VideoParams opening default front/rear camera with provided resolution, custom MediaStreamConstraints providing the most flexible way to setup video stream (e.g. set deviceId), or external MediaStream allowing custom video sources (e.g. from file). Video source can also be a media file provided by url or FileParams that additionally allows to set maximum capture size in cases resolution is too big for a device. Default implementation sets video resolution according to size in VideoParams or 1920x1080 as the fallback. It captures static image, canvas is filled by white color.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
params?VideoSourceParamsParameters of video capture

Returns

Promise<boolean>

Promise resolved to the status of setup when done


size

size(): Size

Resolution of the video stream

Returns

Size

Resolution of the video stream


start

start(): Promise<void>

Start video capture

Video capture can be started only after successful setup().

Returns

Promise<void>

Promise resolved when capture is started


updateSize

Protected updateSize(size): void

Update callback on video resize

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
sizeSizeNew size of the video stream

Returns

void
