Controlling your camera from your computer with gPhoto

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:00:00 GMT
Both of the big powerhouses in the digital SLR camera market -- Canon and Nikon -- make software with which you can control your camera from your PC through an attached USB cable. It is a nice tool for situations when manually triggering the shutter might cause shake (such as long exposures), or for automating multiple shots at timed intervals. But, naturally, the camera makers don't supply this software for free operating systems -- and just as naturally, the open source world has an answer. You can perform the same remote operation functions using gPhoto.

persp_project(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					    persp_project(3alleg4)

NAME
persp_project, persp_project_f - Projects a 3d point into 2d screen space. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> void persp_project(fixed x, fixed y, fixed z, fixed *xout, fixed *yout); void persp_project_f(float x, float y, float z, float *xout, float *yout); DESCRIPTION
Projects the 3d point (x, y, z) into 2d screen space, storing the result in (*xout, *yout) and using the scaling parameters previously set by calling set_projection_viewport(). This function projects from the normalized viewing pyramid, which has a camera at the origin and fac- ing along the positive z axis. The x axis runs left/right, y runs up/down, and z increases with depth into the screen. The camera has a 90 degree field of view, ie. points on the planes x=z and -x=z will map onto the left and right edges of the screen, and the planes y=z and -y=z map to the top and bottom of the screen. If you want a different field of view or camera location, you should transform all your objects with an appropriate viewing matrix, eg. to get the effect of panning the camera 10 degrees to the left, rotate all your objects 10 degrees to the right.
