Hi all,
I'm currently hacking on a system that can analyse images coming from a
camera (on the fly), or from a pre-recorded set of images
(pos-analysis). I want to be able to use either source transparently.
But as I don't know how much time the pre-recorded images will take to
process, I'd like to have the processing be asynchronous.
Given these requirements, I thought of using GSource, because an image
arrival would be seen like an asynchronous event source. So, I'm
currently doing a small GUI application, but I have problems displaying
the images provided by the camera source. Note that in a non-GUI
application, everything works, and I'm able to save every image on the
hard disk for post analysis.
Currently, I'm doing everything in the main loop (there's no other
thread), but the results are bad. Either the GUI freezes and the other
controls are not drawn (as if too much time was spent processing the
camera source events), or if I lower the acquisition period, I only get
3 or 4 frames incompletely drawn.
Maybe I'm not using GSource as I should, but I couldn't find much
documentation on it. Especially since I'm using it with no file
descriptor to poll. I read the glib code for timeout sources, and could
not find something I'm doing wrong. So if someone could give me some
hints on how I may be using it in a bad way, or tell me if my approach
and choice of GSource was a good one, it would be very appreciated.
Here is the code for the caera event source, and for the GUI app.
Thanks in advance.
