A simple java application ... applet ... this project has the aim to capture WEB CAM snaps, and GPS position of a mobile site ... that is to (a) 'monitor' a USB connected Web CAM ... take 'snaps' at pre-determined intervals ... write the 'snap' to a JPEG image ... transfer the JPEG file up to the site server ... (b) this is to be extended to 'monitor' a COM port, redirection of a USB connected GPS receiver, or a Bluetooth GPS connection ... sift through the $GPRMC/$GPGSV/$GPGSA/$GPGGA/$GPVTG/... NMEA sentences ... prepare an XML position file to upload to the server site ...

The mobile unit consists of a Toshiba Techra A3 laptop ... it connects to Internet via an iBurst, or Unwired account, like other PDA's ... and cell phone networks ... 

Running in the mobile, web-connected, unit is a Web CAM viewer, based on some public code, posted on a board ... a few years ago ... the 'reason' for the posting is 'interesting' ;=)) see WebCam01.java below ...

/* =============================================== No Question, just example web cam capture code Author: omcgovern Oct 9, 2003 2:21 AM Hi, Since loads of people ask for an example of capturing pics from a web cam, here's one that captures pics, lets you take snapshots, which it displays in another frame. When you shut down the frame it asks if you want to save it to a JPEG. I'm mainly posting this to spite Eka_Kupkova, who only visits this forum to shamelessly advertise a commercial Twain based package in every single posting on this forum which mentions web cams. Notes : ( Could be more, read the install docs for JMF ) 1. you must download the "performance" version of jmf to capture video. 2. I "think" you need to setup the JMF_HOME environment variable 3. Run the jmfinit program to detect your camera and register it. I had to run it a couple of times before it worked. 4. I had 2 icons for my toolbar, BtnFormat.jpg and BtnCapture.jpg. They were just 16 x 16 pixel bitmaps, you can make them up yourself. 5. I assume you've got the webcam working and the driver installed already. Ps. if you find this useful, then reply back with where you are in the world. I'm in Dublin, Ireland. =============================================== */ // Re: No Question, just example web cam capture code // Author: omcgovern Oct 10, 2003 1:20 AM (reply 1 of 23) // Doohhh...
