To initiate the web camera in Google Colab, we can follow these steps:
from google.colab import output
from base64 import b64decode
from IPython.display import HTML
def take_photo(filename='photo.jpg', quality=0.8):
js = Javascript('''
async function takePhoto(quality) {
const div = document.createElement('div');
const capture = document.createElement('button');
capture.textContent = 'Capture';
div.appendChild(capture);
const video = document.createElement('video');
video.style.display = 'block';
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true});
document.body.appendChild(div);
div.appendChild(video);
video.srcObject = stream;
await video.play();
// Resize the output to fit the video element.
google.colab.output.setIframeHeight(document.documentElement.scrollHeight, true);
// Wait for Capture to be clicked.
await new Promise((resolve) => capture.onclick = resolve);
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = video.videoWidth;
canvas.height = video.videoHeight;
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0);
stream.getVideoTracks()[0].stop();
div.remove();
return canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', quality);
}
''')
display(js)
# Get the photo
data = eval_js('takePhoto({})'.format(quality))
binary = b64decode(data.split(',')[1])
# Save the photo
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
f.write(binary)
return filename
# Take a photo
take_photo()
Once the code is executed, we will see a button "Capture" and a video stream from the webcam.
Click on the "Capture" button to take a photo.
The photo will be saved as "photo.jpg" in the current directory.
We can then use the saved image file for any further processing.
