I confess to knowing nothing whatever about opencv but I needed to install it (2.3) in Ubuntu 12.04 in order to run a headtracking prog. using webcam. The problem is that the image is very laggy & as far as I can ascertain this is because the Waitkey value needs to be adjusted. But how?
You need to retrieve the source code of your program, go to the line of code that calls the command waitKey('intValue') and change the internal value to an amount of milliseconds you want to perform a wait.
However, be aware that this waiting is mostly to give the window the change to call its internal repaint method, in order to visualize everything correctly. Probably the cause of your slower framerate is either
I do not believe that waitKey, which has mostly a value of like 30 milliseconds, would be the bad guy here.
