Built-in camera not automatically detected in OpenCv 2.4.2 with OpenNI

Hi, I'm trying to get input from my laptop's built-in camera just by

VideoCapture capture;  
capture.open(0);

I also tried with different device numbers (1,2,3). However I'm getting the following error:

> CvCapture_OpenNI::CvCapture_OpenNI : Failed to enumerate production trees: Can't create any node of the requested type!

I don't have a kinect or any other camera connected to my laptop so its weird that its trying to open the kinect device instead of my built-in camera. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 using OpenCV 2.4.2 installed with openni support.

My camera is recognized correctly with Cheese and other applications. I checked the USB devices to verify that the kinect wasn't present, and that the camera was:

Any ideas how to get my camera working? Thanks.

I installed OpenCv 2.4.2 on my UBUNTU 12.04 system. I can take images using Logitech hd720p usb webcam. But econ_ecam-32 is not working with opencv.

I've got exactly the same problem as asked here. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 + OpenNI 1.5.4 with a Kinect.

Do you have a solution now?

Best Regards Pei

Are you using openCV 2.4.6.1? A fix for camera interfacing has been released due to a critical error in openCV 2.4.6 built.

Hi, Steven, Thank you for your prompt reply. Yup, now, I upgraded to OpenCV 2.4.6.1 However, I don't know why cheese is not able to detect Kinect but with lsusb Bus 002 Device 009: ID 045e:02ad Microsoft Corp. Xbox NUI Audio Bus 002 Device 008: ID 045e:02b0 Microsoft Corp. Xbox NUI Motor Bus 002 Device 010: ID 045e:02ae Microsoft Corp. Xbox NUI Camera

Now, OpenCV 2.4.6.1 is able to start capturing from the Logitech C920 . Does that mean, I need to re-install OpenNI? oh, I'm using OpenNI 1.5.4, do I have to upgrade it to OpenNI 2.2 ?

Thanks again.
