I can not get Emgu CV to work with cameras on new tablets based on Windows 8 x86. These are not ARM-based tablets running Windows 8 RT, and they run full-blown Windows 8 Pro x86 on Atom x86 processors. I tried the working code on the release version of Samsung XE500T1C (Ativ?) And in the preliminary version of the HP ElitePad 900.
Emgu CV tells me: "Error: Unable to capture from camera 0". The problem is probably due to the fact that the new Atom chipset handles some camera features. I added a screenshot of the device manager with offensive cameras highlighted.
Under Imaging devices we have:
Intel (R) 2300 Image Processing Signal Processor
In the section "System devices" there is:
OV2720 Camera Sensor
OV8830 Camera Sensor
Flash LM3554
I searched internets high and low and did not find anything useful. I contacted HP and they turn to their engineering. I tried Intel, and the best I got was the following: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/sample-windows-store-app-for-camera-picture-taking , which is actually Designed for Windows Store apps. Although it works.
Does anyone have any ideas? Needless to say, I got involved. Another thing Emgu CV works great on my Samsung Slate Series 7, which is running Windows 8 Pro. It also works great on 32-bit Windows 8 Pro VM. It looks like these are new with the new Atoms with an Intel Imaging Signal 2300 signal processor.
Thanks everyone!
