but VideoCapture cap(0); is working for me..it opens the camera.. please anyone give solution..

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdarg.h>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
cvNamedWindow( "Example2", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(0);
IplImage* frame;
while(1) {
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
if( !frame ) break;
cvShowImage( "Example2", frame );
char c = cvWaitKey(33);
if( c == 27 ) break;
}
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
cvDestroyWindow( "Example2" );
}

above shows the code...but when cv: :videocapture used cvQueryFrame gets error as there are no pointer in use...how to solve this..?

you should probably stop trying with any outdated opencv1.0 c - based ideas, but use opencv2 style c++:

#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    Mat frame;
    VideoCapture cap;
    if (argc>1) cap.open(argv[1]); // some vid passed as cmdline arg
    else cap.open(0);              // by default use webcam
    while(cap.isOpened() && cap.read(frame))
    {
        //
        // process frame as you wish..
        //
        imshow("ocv",frame);
        if (waitKey(10)==27) break;
    }
}

yae, that's most likely the problem.

which opencv version do you use ?

current docs are at http://docs.opencv.org/master/

have a look, at the "tutorials" section.

if you want my 2ct on "the book" - if you're unlucky to get version1.0 - it's still a great book, when it's about explaining things, you're just no more allowed to use the opencv1.0 example code in there.

ok..it is kind of dissapointment for me because that book has explained everything A-Z simply..
