# Webcam
<img alt="webcam" title="webcam" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Eric-Canas/webcam/main/resources/logo.png" width="20%" align="left"> **Webcam** is a simple, yet powerful Python library that brings advanced webcam handling to your projects. Through the same interface, it offers numerous advantages over alternatives like [cv2.VideoCapture](https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d8/dfe/classcv_1_1VideoCapture.html#a57c0e81e83e60f36c83027dc2a188e80), making it a _go-to choice_ for developers and, specially, _Computer Vision Engineers_ seeking to enhance their webcam integration and usage.

Implemented under the same interface than [cv2.VideoCapture](https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d8/dfe/classcv_1_1VideoCapture.html#a57c0e81e83e60f36c83027dc2a188e80), it heavily simplifies _high-level_ frame manipulation, making it a _go-to choice_ for developers and, specially, _Computer Vision Engineers_ seeking to enhance their webcam integration and usage.

**Webcam** provides you with an intuitive way to handle video input from a range of sources like _webcams_, _IP cameras_, and _video files_. It grants you the power to dictate the exact _frame size_, or regulate _aspect ratio_ adjustments when the camera's native resolution doesn't match, ensuring the returned frames perfectly align with your format specifications.

Furthermore, **Webcam** implements powerful features for applying **Perspective Transforms** on the video stream, while retaining valuable information about **pixel origin** and **magnification**, useful for calculating image characteristics that depend on the camera sensor.
Beyond that, **Webcam** enables the application of **Perspective Transforms** directly on the video stream, while retaining valuable information about **pixel origin** and **magnification**, useful for calculating image characteristics that depend on the camera sensor.

Finally, **Webcam** includes a unique aspect that allows users to authentically **mirror webcam input** using _video files_. It ensures the frame accessed at any particular moment matches the exact frame you'd encounter in a **real-time webcam stream**, making it a valuable tool for testing and development.

Designed for **simplicity** and **user-friendliness**, **Webcam** provides advanced features without compromising **ease of use**. This allows you to channel your efforts into developing your application, instead of grappling with the complexities of webcam control.
