多个usb相机使用心得

显示多个video*

一个摄像头插入后会出现两个video且都有同样设备名，比如video0，video1。只有video0有数据。另一个video1用opencv是读不到数据的。（而且往往是编号较小的那个video*是可以读的）

绑定多个相机端口号

参考博客ubuntu18.04固定摄像头标志为video0

多个相机插入不同USB口

两个usb相机同时打开可能会出现问题。通过一个usb口进入主板的两个相机会出现第一个相机占用端口的问题，导致第二个相机无法打开。必须要插两个独立的usb口。

设置曝光值

OpenCV 3.4.10不支持更改exposure曝光参数，偶然间我使用自己台式机上opencv-python 4.2.0的cv2支持更改参数。知道是OpenCV版本问题，4.2.0修复了bug。

如果需要ros话题，可以直接用OpenCV 4.2.0cv2转发成rostopic

附相机读取代码

#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding: utf-8
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
cap_ir_mono = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video_ir_mono')
# cap_color_mono = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video0')
# cap_color_mono = cv2.VideoCapture(0）

## 设置曝光参数
cap_ir_mono.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_AUTO_EXPOSURE, 1)  # manual mode
cap_ir_mono.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE, 10) # value form 1 ~ 30 is ok

while cap_ir_mono.isOpened():
    ret_ir, frame_ir = cap_ir_mono.read()
    print('ir:', ret_ir)
    if ret_ir:
        print('ir:', len(frame_ir))
        cv2.imshow("cap_ir", frame_ir)
    cv2.waitKey(1)
