Hello Electro Tech forum!
I am currently looking for a way on how I can synchronize a webcam and a light source.
I want every second picture the webcam takes to be with the lighting on, every other picture with the lighting off.
The idea is to then compare these two pictures to filter out any effects of ambient lighting or unwanted light sources.
The problem is how to either trigger the webcam to take the next picture, or how to read the signal that does trigger the camera and then synchronize the light source to it.
I do need the camera feed to be pretty much in realtime (i.e. > 60fps or 30 pairs).
Does anybody have an idea on how to interface a microcontroller with a webcam to realize such a setup?
I'd appreciate your input very much!
Have a great day!
Tom
