NEW! Because interest seems to be rising in IVCCLIB and I am not really able to support it (I finished up grad school almost a year ago), I've set up a message board for users of IVCCLIB to meet eachother and discuss their work with the libraries.

What is IVCCLIB?
IVCCLIB was developed by Jeff Norris at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory during his work on his Masters thesis.  In order to use IVCCLIB, you need the following:

A fairly quick PC running something compatible with Redhat Linux, version 5.2
An Intel Video Capture Card, which is sold in two packages:
The Intel Smart Video Recorder III
The Intel Create & Share Camera Pack (includes a fairly decent camera, too)
A camera to capture images with, if you didn't buy the Create & Share Camera Pack
One of the following:
Matlab 5.2
Sun's JDK, version 1.1 or 1.2
GCC, or another C compiler

IVCCLIB provides the following features:

30 frames per second capture from multiple IVCC's into shared memory
Simultaneous access by several vision programs to the same real-time capture stream
Straight-forward video capture into C, Java, and Matlab

IVCCLIB is provided free of charge and free of support.  You're welcome to share your comments on the libraries with me by following the instructions in the Contact section of these pages, but this system is intended to serve as a starting point for research-- it's *not* a commercial product.
