Motion - Support Question 2005x 04x 24x 145153

BIG problem with sources package&output image format

Question

Buon giorno big grin

in the first place, sorry for my bad english : I have this problem..

After compile this versions of motion (i try on 4 different computer with debian os and with 3 different webcam ....0v511 and pwc/pwcx driver):

motion-2.3.tar.gz *(I am using this version)

motion-2.2.tar.gz

motion-2.0.tar.gz

motion-1.3.tar.gz

(i use this versions because i use a mini_ssc for tracking control)

the "output captured images" are reported in a strange format... see the attached (plz smile )

next to the beginning I thought was a problem of the format pal or ntsc, but it was not that one

the mini_ssc servo can't track motion regulary with this out frown, sad smile

Help me plz

following in attach.: video.c motion.c motion.conf (that i have modified on motion 2.3) and the image frown, sad smile

currently use webcam with driver 0v511 that it works perfectly with xawtv, camstream and all a software for the capture video.

I have tried with the new version of motion for debian (deb) and works perfectly, for misfortune the lib mini_ssc are not implemented frown, sad smile ....

thanks in advance for any help big grin

Answer

The versions of Motion you are trying to get to work are from before I personally got involved with Motion. I personally spend all my free time on Motion and I have a queue of things I want to either fix or create on the current 3.2.X versions.

If someone else want to soend time - feel free to answer on this topic.

It seems you can get Motion 3.2.1_snapX to work with your camera. And that your problem is related to the fact that the mini-ssc is not supported as it was in the early days of Motion.

I may have good news for you. I am working on defining a new generic interface for Tracking. I am not very far with the actual coding but I have a framework on paper of how I want to do it.

Basically I am working on a generic output where Motion - each time motion is detected - will output a seried of information including the coordinates and size of the detected motion area.

The idea is that it should then be relatively simple to write a small program that translates this into moving a camera. Thera are so many PTZ cameras and other moving cameras - each with their capabilities and specs and it will be impossible for Motion to have a native support for them all.

Once implemented people will be able to upload their small camera control scripts or programs for others to share and use.

I also have a couple of servo controlled cameras which are currently not supported by Motion so I will for sure share whatever I do.

The new generic tracking patch has a patch topic: GenericTrackingPatch. Follow the progress here.
