Hi,
i am using a playstation eye video camera with kinovea. The 640x480 / 75 FPS works fine for me but the video quality is very poor.
Has anyone an idea of how to improve the quality?
Is anyone using other cheap >60 fps bsb cameras?
Cheers
Sven

Could you describe the image quality issues?
1) First, the camera almost certainly has an AUTO exposure control. Usually the AUTO control chooses a shutter speed that will be very slow. Motion blur will result unless object velocities are very low. The only thing to do is to take the camera out into direct sunlight and hope that the AUTO control logic will select a very fast shutter speed.
2) Second, another problem that becomes more likely as the spatial resolution is increased (increased sensor scan lines) is Jello Effect distortion. Rapidly moving objects may falsely bend down or across the frame because all areas of the frame were not captured at the same instant.
See earlier Basic Camera Considerations thread.

Are you indoors ? I think he PSEye webcam needs a lot of light, otherwise the signal is quite noisy.
