Why it doesn't pick up any cameras?

I'm in making barcode scanner but "VideoCaptureDevice can't pick up any objects" ?
I'm using AForge video and ZXing in visual studio 2019 C#
I want it to be able to scan barcodes from my laptop webcam.
I tried running it with the problem but in my combobox where are supposed to be cameras available for use but they are none. I even tried activating the webcam before opening up the program.
code:
FilterInfoCollection FilterInfoCollection;
VideoCaptureDevice VideoCaptureDevice;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FilterInfoCollection = new FilterInfoCollection(FilterCategory.VideoInputDevice);
foreach (FilterInfo device in FilterInfoCollection)
comboBox1.Items.Add(device.Name);
comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
VideoCaptureDevice = new VideoCaptureDevice(FilterInfoCollection[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].MonikerString);
VideoCaptureDevice.NewFrame += VideoCaptureDevice_NewFrame;
VideoCaptureDevice.Start();
}
private void VideoCaptureDevice_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
BarcodeReader reader = new BarcodeReader();
var result = reader.Decode(bitmap);
if (result != null)
{
textBox1.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate ()
{
textBox1.Text = result.ToString();
}));
}
pictureBox1.Image = bitmap;
}
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
if (VideoCaptureDevice != null)
{
if (VideoCaptureDevice.IsRunning)
VideoCaptureDevice.Stop();
}
}
}
}

SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}") command not working in method but working in event method

I have sort of found a solution to the question My previous question and it was to use:
SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}"); to automatically click OK button on a dialog box
My problem now is that SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}"); will work in an event method i.e Start_click but will not in the method Start_Vid();
I get the error:
'SendKeys cannot run inside this application because the application is not handling Windows messages. Either change the application to handle messages, or use the SendKeys.SendWait method'
I have no idea why it should not work and what the error message means?

Try using the SendKeys.SendWait method.
If it doesn't work try this AutoHotKey wrapper from andrew.
And by using these lines of code should do the trick.
var ahk = AutoHotkeyEngine.Instance;
ahk.ExecRaw("Send {Enter}");

How to save an image in picture box after applying editing on it..These editing will show on picture when we open it in image viewer

i made a screen capturing application.. i applied drawing(simple lines) on it..

Record video with Accord.net (AForge)

{
fts = videoSource.FramesReceived;
label1.Text = "Frame Rate : " + fts.ToString("F2") + " fps";
}
}

And when click the btnStopRecord following error :
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

"Slow motion" can have multiple reasons. First you need to know if the actual framerate, at which the NewFrames get produces is so slow (how many HZ then?) or if the CPU is too busy. Or the graphics card maybe.
For everything DirectShow related I strongly suggest using GraphEdit and AMCap to see what the real capabilites of the device are. AForge was prone to oversampling and I would not wonder if it's similar in Accord.
Also, you can always rely on good old processexplorer to see if the load (if any) is caused by SYSTEM or INTERRUPRS or is actually produced by your executable.
Another thing that happened to me was PictureBox. VideoSourcePlayer is far better and I wound up doing my own blitting.
It is worth mentioning these three optimizations:
DO NOT USE Bitmap.GetPixel!
Use videoSource.DisplayPinPropertyPage(IntPtr.Zero)
Check the color space of the videostream
Bitmap.GetPixel
The problem with GetPixel is, that it's really slow as it has to unmanage/manage a lot for every single pixel. It is fine as along as you only get a small a mount of calls and use it on a loaded bitmap. It is definately the wrong approach if you want to use it on all pixelx every couple of milliseconds. The CPU load from this phenomenon is associated with your application and will show as such in process explorer.
In the end I wrote my own pixel routines starting here: Work with bitmap faster with Csharp
If you just want a kernel or something more usual than I needed, implement a
custom Filter.
VideoSource.DisplayPinPropertyPage
If you use the AForge-buit-in mechanism for choosing the resolution and initiating the video stream, you cannot set the Framerate (I do not consider this a bug in AForge). So AForge always chooses the highest framerate. If you circumvent videoSource.VideoCapabilities and directly show the native device configuration dialog (it's formally called "Video Capture Pin Properties Dialog"). There you can set all the parameters manually and the dialog will fill in the appropriate framerate. This way, you will get the "real" (hardware) refresh rate in your callbacks. The CPU load of this oversampling happens in the SYSTEM process.
Color space conversion
In my case, the camera supports three output formats: YUY2, MJPG and RGB24. Depending on what format you use, the image is transformed by AForge into RGB (I think actually it's ARGB32). The rendered DirectShow graphs for all three formats are different and RGB obviously uses much less CPU than the others, as the color conversion is quite trivial. The load from this conversion also shows up in the SYSTEM process and not in your applications exe.

You can try to put some timers to understand which operation is slowing down the process.(Stopwatch class will be perfect)
I don't know the format of your Frame but usually the conversion to Bitmap is the bottle neck, AForge is quite fast. Furthermore you can pass a time stamp to WriteVideoFrame method, then the frame rate indicated in Open is just for replaying the video. Aforge will ordinate the frames in the right order with the right time.
That's according to my experience. Hope it can help.

Mat m = new Mat();

if you write file on newFrame handler Func will cause fastplaqy/slow record on some codec VP8-VP9 etc. (mpeg4 not effect) but if you start different timer on some time to write you solve your issues

AForge Convertation and problems with HD

First of all, I can't play and record HD video(1920x1080), when I change my camera resolution to 1920x1080 program show and record black background, if camera resolution is 720x576 it works without problems. I'm sure that the problem is in my solution because, when I use DesktopVideo(Software which is included with Blackmagic Decklink Studio 2) it shows HD video from camera.
Second, How do I convert video with AForge? like changing resolution and framerate, I can change codecs and bitrate, but when I change Resolution and FrameRate in "FileWriter.Open"
command I get Error Resolution and FrameRate must be the same as Bitmap I'm capturing from camera.
If anybody knows how to solve these problems please share information, thanks!

The provided code simply captures and saves in the format currently active/selected for the capture device. In general, resolution change is an "expensive" operation is not available as a complimentary operation.
You want to change resolution right on capture device by switching it to more appropriate format, then capture in this resolution and have all further data manipulation in correct resolution. Available resolutions and options might be hardware specific there.
If/when no suitable capture resolution option is available, you typically resample the video to new resolution. Even though Windows API has suitable functionality, in your particular case you are interested to have this integrated with AForge library and you need to check its documentation to find out whether it provides a respective wrapper and whether it can be integrated into capture process overall (or, you need to write this code yourself to handle scaling).
