Re: Adding 3D/Computer Vision

Hi Sterling,

I have used ffmpeg to feed a video capture stream of flightgear into a fifo
pipe that can be read by an opencv application in real time.  I did a
little write up on the flightgear.org web site:

http://www.flightgear.org/tours/developing-computer-vision-algorithms-with-flightgear/

The part where I talk about specific ffmpeg commands is down towards the
end of the article.  I don't know if this method would be appropriate for
you, but it's something that was useful for my project.

Curt.
