manipulating camera snapshots

[davemee]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to read and set the RGB values of the pixels in the images that videocontrol.getSnapshot returns. I get exceptions if I say

byte[] pngImage = videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=rgb888");

...is it possible to capture raw rgb into a byte array and examine and change those values before returning them to the display? or is this impossible in java?

Any help hugely appreciated.

You can pixel date using DirectGraphics. Look at Nokia UI API. Refer to this document:

Thanks, "nmittal"!

For anyone else: capture from the camera (as per the examples) to an intermediate image.

Copy this image into a new image you have created using the DirectUtils class. You can then read and set pixels in this image, before committing it to the phone display using another copy in the paint() method.
